Minnesota Network of Hospice & Palliative Care

What Minnesota Network of Hospice & Palliative Care does

Minnesota Network of Hospice & Palliative Care (MNHPC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization founded in 1980 (originally as Minnesota Hospice Organization, renamed in 2011) that serves as the statewide network for hospice and palliative care providers in Minnesota. The organization operates a fully remote team of 1-10 staff, headquartered via a Rochester, MN mailing address with offices in Minneapolis, and delivers education, advocacy, networking, technical assistance, and public-facing care navigation services. Its technology footprint is operational rather than productized, relying on Microsoft Teams for virtual webinars, a Wix-based public website, and email newsletters rather than a unified software platform.

MNHPC generates revenue primarily through tiered membership dues: Hospice & Palliative Provider Members pay a $250 base fee plus $8.75 per patient served in the prior year, capped at $10,000-$13,000 depending on patient volume; Palliative Only Providers pay $350/year; Allied Organizations and Business Partners pay $350-$1,500/year based on operating budget; Individuals pay $35-$75/year. Supplementary revenue streams include Annual Conference registration fees, paid webinars (Hospice Nuts & Bolts training at $399 members/$499 non-members), and tax-deductible donations supporting an Access Scholarship Fund.

The organization's service portfolio includes the Annual Conference (held since 1985), the Care Navigation Program (free public-facing service providing 1:1 sessions and group education for families facing serious illness), Hospice Nuts & Bolts compliance training (delivered in partnership with WellSky), Community Presentations, a Technical Assistance Team, the Pediatric Palliative Care Coalition of Minnesota, and the Hospice and Home Care Webinar Network (HHWN) — a partnership with 34 state associations that delivers 70+ webinars annually. MNHPC serves over 65 hospice and palliative care provider members including major Minnesota health systems (Mayo Clinic Hospice, Allina Health, HealthPartners, Children's Minnesota), functions as the state-level affiliate of the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO), and reaches its audience through self-serve website membership signup, email newsletters, in-person events, and virtual webinars.
