The Washington State Hospice & Palliative Care Organization (WSHPCO) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families facing serious illnesses through compassionate, accessible end-of-life care.
Our mission is to ensure that everyone receives quality care, whether at home, in a nursing facility, or in any setting they call home. Since 1983, we have taken a leadership role in advocating for hospice as the preferred model of care, collaborating with care providers, legislators, and agencies to improve access and uphold care standards across all environments.
Please note: WSHPCO does not provide direct patient care. If you need immediate assistance, visit our Find Care directory to locate a hospice or palliative care provider near you.
