Hospice & Palliative Care Association of Arkansas

What Hospice & Palliative Care Association of Arkansas does

Hospice & Palliative Care Association of Arkansas (HPCAA) is a statewide nonprofit trade association that represents hospice and palliative care providers operating in Arkansas. Its core constituency comprises governing hospice organizations, governing palliative care organizations, associate/supporter members (vendors and partners), and individual members, with board representation spanning multiple regional providers across the state. The association's stated mission centers on advocacy, education, and connection for the Arkansas hospice and palliative care community.

HPCAA's product surface consists of (i) a tiered membership program with four dues categories, (ii) an annual Hospice and Palliative Care Conference, (iii) a published calendar of more than 40 webinars per year, (iv) member engagement programs including Friendtorship and the Volunteer Coordinator Network, (v) a Heart Awards recognition program, (vi) an online Find a Provider directory, and (vii) legislative advocacy including active opposition to Arkansas SB269 in 2025. Education and advocacy content are delivered through a standard website and member communications; there is no indication of proprietary technology platforms beyond the directory and content delivery systems typical of small membership associations.

The business model is a nonprofit membership model. Revenue is generated from individual, governing hospice, governing palliative care, and associate/supporter membership dues, registration and sponsorship fees tied to the annual conference and webinars, and donations. The organization is staffed by approximately 6 employees and is affiliated with the National Alliance for Care at Home, which provides a conduit to national hospice and home care policy and advocacy resources.
