What Oregon Hospice & Palliative Care Association does

Oregon Hospice & Palliative Care Association (OHPCA) is a nonprofit public benefit organization registered and operating in Oregon, USA, with a mailing address at Post Office Box 592, Marylhurst, Oregon 97036. It functions as the primary state-level professional membership association for hospice and palliative care providers, serving hospice agencies, palliative care organizations, home health agencies, and individual clinicians including social workers, chaplains, nurses, medical directors, and administrators. OHPCA does not provide direct patient care; instead, it serves as a member services and resource hub for the Oregon end-of-life care community. The organization is led by CEO Barb Hansen and Member Services Coordinator Meg McCauley, with Dr. Eriko Onishi serving on the Board of Directors.

OHPCA's core offerings consist of an annual Provider Member membership program (renewal cycle beginning July 1), a Find Care directory for patient/family referrals, semi-monthly networking groups segmented by provider function (Inpatient Directors/Managers, Hospice Medical Directors, Bereavement Coordinators, Volunteer Coordinators, QAPI/Regulatory), and an educational webinar series delivered through a partnership with the Hospice & Home Care Webinar Network (HHWN). It publishes an annual report (2021-2025 edition publicly available) and distributes a members-only newsletter. The technology stack is a standard WordPress website with an event calendar, a Facebook presence, and a member login — no proprietary platform, mobile application, or API is disclosed.

Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed; the association operates on membership dues, individual donations (visible tiered giving options on the website), and associate member/partnership sponsorship revenue from corporate vendors. OHPCA maintains strategic partnerships with CaringInfo, NWPPCC (Northwest Palliative Care Consultation at Seattle Children's), We Honor Veterans, Medicare.gov, and WSHPCO (joint networking programming), and holds professional affiliations with AAHPM, Alliance for Care at Home, and Oregon Geriatric Education Center. Geographic scope is restricted to Oregon with no global footprint.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Alliance for Care at Home: Broad incumbent — national alliance representing hospice and home care organizations. OHPCA maintains a professional affiliation; comparable mission of advocacy and education for hospice/home care providers but at national scope.
• American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM): Broad incumbent — national professional organization for physicians and clinicians in hospice/palliative medicine; OHPCA is a professional affiliate. Similar focus on workforce education and clinical best practices, but physician-centric and national in scope.
• National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO): Broad incumbent — the national U.S. hospice and palliative care association, overlapping heavily in mission (advocacy, education, provider support) but operating at a national rather than state level, with a much larger portfolio.

Others

• Oregon Geriatric Education Center (Oregon Gero): Adjacent — Oregon-based geriatric education organization and listed professional affiliation of OHPCA. Comparable continuing-education mission for an overlapping (geriatric) audience, enabling cross-referral rather than direct competition.
• Hospice & Home Care Webinar Network (HHWN): Adjacent/partner — educational content vendor that delivers OHPCA's member webinars. Not a competing association but a closely coupled ecosystem partner serving the same provider audience with continuing education.

Direct peers

• California Hospice and Palliative Care Association: Direct peer — California state-level hospice and palliative care association with the same membership-based provider-support model. Comparable structure (membership dues, education, advocacy) but serving a much larger state.
• Florida Hospice & Palliative Care Association: Direct peer — Florida's state hospice and palliative care association, mirroring OHPCA's provider-education and member-services model in a different geography with a comparable mission.
• Washington State Hospice & Palliative Care Organization (WSHPCO): Direct peer — Washington state's parallel hospice and palliative care professional association, with which OHPCA runs joint networking groups (Inpatient Directors/Managers, Bereavement Coordinators). Same membership-based model serving providers in an adjacent geography.
• Texas Non-Profit Hospice Alliance / Texas & New Mexico Hospice Organization: Direct peer — state-level hospice association serving Texas and New Mexico providers with comparable education, advocacy, and membership services model.
• Hospice and Palliative Care Association of New York State: Direct peer — New York state hospice and palliative care association offering the same provider-education, advocacy, and membership services as OHPCA in a much larger state with more complex regulatory environment.
