Ohio Hospice & Palliative Care Organization (OHPCO), a non-profit organization, was chartered in 1979 in response to the need to promote hospice care and to support the growth and development of provider programs through education, advocacy and technical information. Originally known as the Ohio Hospice Organization, its name was changed in 1999 to Ohio Hospice & Palliative Care Organization in order to promote the development of palliative care programs. In December of 2006, the OHPCO Board of Directors approved the development of a home care division (Ohio Home Care Organization) within the organization to begin providing similar services to Home Care Agencies.

The organization is committed to providing hospice, home & palliative care education, technical and supportive services and advocacy to members, non members, and members of the community. The three identified areas or divisions above are engaged in the care of patients who are facing end of life, those who require home or community based care, or who are experiencing advanced chronic illness or life-limiting injury/conditions.

Additionally, OHPCO provides education and guidance for health care planning by distributing advance care planning materials such as Living Will Declarations, Health Care Power of Attorney Forms, Organ Donation Forms and Do Not Resuscitate Information. OHPCO is a charitable organization which receives its funding through a variety of resources, including member dues, educational programming, grant funding, donations and charitable giving.

We believe that through appropriate means and a caring community, a family may achieve physical, mental, and spiritual comfort for the duration of service and beyond. This website was developed with a focus on providing education and information to consumers, professionals, and member providers.
