Mission

Hospice and Palliative Care Association of Iowa (HPCAI) is the statewide leader in the enhancement of palliative and end-of-life care through the representation of and service to hospices.

Vision

Iowans will seek end-of-life care appropriate for their needs and have access to quality hospice and palliative care consistent with their individual desires and values.

Support for Medicaid Expansion

 

HPCAI along with the Iowa Hospital Association and nearly 50 other organizations from around the state announced their support for expanding Iowa’s Medicaid program at a press conference held at the Iowa State Capitol on January 29. If legislators and the governor would support expansion, it could improve the health of approximately 90,000 Iowans.

Contact your legislators today and urge them to support Medicaid Expansion.
