What is Virginia Association for Hospices and Palliative Care?
The Virginia Association for Hospices and Palliative Care (VAHPC) was founded in 1980 by a small group of volunteers who were committed to improving end-of-life care and expanding access to all in need of hospice services. From this humble beginning, VAHPC has become the premier network of hospices and palliative care programs in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
