NAHC's Annual Meeting & Exposition
Please join us for the National Association for Home Care & Hospice 28th Annual Meeting & Exposition and The Fourth World Congress on Home Care & Hospice taking place in Los Angeles, California, October 10-14, 2009 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
This is the time each year when the members of NAHC meet to discuss events and issues we have in common, and chart a path for the future. All of us can see that home care and hospice have quickly become the heart and soul of health care in America. The pivotal question is, “What steps should home care and hospice providers take individually and as an industry as a whole, in preparation to meet these important responsibilities and challenges?”
What is true in the United States is also true for the rest of the world. Across the globe we are experiencing the phenomenon described as the “graying” of nations. More people are living longer, and as we extend life expectancy, we are being confronted with an increased incidence of morbidity. What this means is that more people will need help to stay home to be able to live more independently, and thus postpone or prevent institutionalization. The 19th century French philosopher Auguste Comte wrote, “Democracy is Destiny.” This is most certainly true for the home care and hospice community.
