Georgia Hospice And Palliative Care Organization

What Georgia Hospice And Palliative Care Organization does

Georgia Hospice & Palliative Care Organization (GHPCO) is a non-profit statewide membership association headquartered in Stockbridge, Georgia, serving hospice and palliative care providers and clinical professionals across the state. Its core activities include policy advocacy at the Georgia state capitol, member education, and convening of the provider community through events and training programs.

The organization's product surface consists of three primary offerings: (1) the annual LEAP Summit, a recurring statewide conference held in 2025 with a 2026 edition confirmed; (2) the Leadership Academy, a tiered executive training program priced at $1,995 for members and $4,995 for non-members; and (3) partner-enabled programming delivered through collaborations with MAPGA/Emory (credentialed palliative care education), Project ECHO with the Georgia Department of Public Health (tele-mentoring), We Honor Veterans (federal veteran-focused hospice framework), and Georgia Healthcare Coalitions. It has also developed pediatric palliative care resources, signaling broader clinical scope.

GHPCO operates as a small association with 1-10 employees and generates revenue through membership dues, conference registrations, and training program fees. The business model is fundamentally a member-funded non-profit, with a clear pricing differential between member and non-member access that functions as both a retention lever and a non-member acquisition funnel into membership. No AI, technology platform, or recurring software product is part of the offering mix; the underlying technology is limited to standard association management and event/conference infrastructure.

Emerging players

• Hospice Foundation of America: National nonprofit foundation supporting hospice through public education, professional development, and grants. Comparable mission and nonprofit membership/education programming, though less directly competitive on advocacy.
• Palliative Care Quality Collaborative: Quality-measurement and data-focused collaborative for palliative care programs. Adjacent to GHPCO's hospice utilization data and quality committee work; an emerging player in the same provider-support ecosystem.

Direct peers

• Texas & New Mexico Hospice Organization: Regional hospice and palliative care membership association serving Texas and New Mexico providers. Directly comparable as a state/regional peer offering membership, advocacy, and education to hospice/palliative providers.
• Florida Hospice & Palliative Care Association: Statewide hospice and palliative care membership association for Florida providers. Closely comparable as a direct state-level peer offering membership tiers, advocacy, education, and conferences to hospice providers.

Broad incumbents

• Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC): National organization focused on expanding access to quality palliative care through clinician training and health system technical assistance. Comparable mission overlap with GHPCO's palliative care education and provider-support work.
• National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) / National Alliance for Care at Home: National-level membership and advocacy association for hospice and palliative care providers. Directly comparable as a membership-based industry body serving overlapping provider members, but operating federally rather than within a single state.

• Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA): National professional association for hospice and palliative nurses offering education, certification, and advocacy. Comparable as a member-driven nonprofit serving the hospice/palliative care workforce with CEU and conference programming similar to GHPCO.

Regional players
