Our mission is to enhance the availability of non-profit hospice care throughout Texas.
We're an organization of independently owned hospices dedicated to providing quality end-of-life hospice care.
Our members average more than 20 years of expertise and commitment to the communities they serve.
Though each member is independently owned and operated, we are united in the belief that the non-profit hospice model best reflects the caring culture that exists in our Texas communities—where neighbors join together to focus their energies on comprehensive and compassionate care for their patients and their families.
Hospice care is about quality of life
Hospice is a comprehensive program of quality end-of-life care for those with life-limiting illnesses or injuries.
It's provided by a team of trained professionals in the patient's home, hospitals, nursing homes, and hospice in-patient facilities.
Hospice care seeks to manage pain and symptoms to emphasize the quality of life and worth of the individual. It offers medical, emotional, and spiritual support to the patient, and bereavement services for the family after death.
Hospice care is available to everyone, regardless of age, race, religion, or sexual orientation. Costs are covered under Medicare, Medicaid, most private insurance plans, HMOs, and other managed care organizations.
Choosing hospice is about
comfort against physical, emotional, and spiritual pain
retaining total control of quality of life issues
knowing that support is as near as your telephone or computer
compassionate end-of-life care that focuses on both patient and family
Hospice care is about living—making every moment count.
Choosing hospice is NOT about
focusing on death or finding a place to die
using drugs to alter the mind or body
forcing patients and families into pre-made decisions
limiting the scope of care in an effort to drive down costs
Hospice care is not about hastening death or giving up hope. It's about living each day to the fullest.
Though all quality hospice care is good, not all hospice care is the same.

Children represent a family’s hope for the future... but when a child is diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, Texas Non-Profit Hospice Alliance recognizes this as one of the most difficult journeys a family can face.
Hospice and palliative care may be the next stop to provide the needed comfort and support for your child and family.
