Putnam County Hospice and Palliative Care Association (PCHPCA) is a nonprofit charitable organization that has joined national, state, and community efforts seeking to enhance the quality of life for terminally ill persons, their loved ones, and their caretakers, by providing education and resources about the benefits of hospice care, palliative care, and advance care planning.
The Putnam County Hospice and Palliative Care Association does not charge for its services. It relies on donations to support its work. PCHPCA is partially supported by the Putnam County Community Foundation and the Putnam County Hospital.
- PCHPCA provides FREE educational opportunities, information, tools, and resources to the general public and to Putnam County healthcare providers and systems, and we are always seeking new ways to be of greater support.
- PCHPCA does NOT provide hospice or palliative care services.
- PCHPCA does NOT provide legal or medical advice or recommend particular companies or organizations.
Specifically, PCHPCA seeks to accomplish two things:
- Increase utilization of hospice and palliative care in Putnam County. PCHPCA assists the general public, patients, loved ones, caregivers, and healthcare providers to understand and access hospice and palliative care.
- Increase advance care planning conversations in Putnam County. PCHPCA assists the general public, patients, loved ones, caregivers, and healthcare providers to have meaningful conversations about values and preferences for health care in the event of a serious injury or illness.
