Frequently Asked Questions

As the serious-illness and care-at-home communities continue to evolve, national representation should evolve too, anticipating the resources, advocacy, and support providers nationwide will need.

The National Alliance for Care at Home means providers across the serious-illness, care-at-home, and end-of-life care continuum gain a stronger, more efficient partner to:

• Represent the community in Washington
• Deliver an expanded suite of resources to help you grow your organization
• Connect you and your colleagues with peers across the continuum of care
• Provide expert-led industry regulatory guidance
• Support and promote the highest quality standards for care
• Raise consumer awareness about the importance of serious-illness care, care-at-home, hospice, palliative care, and advance care planning.

The National Alliance for Care at Home brings nearly 90 years of combined organizational operating experience – and complementary capabilities – to create a new, stronger organization to lead into the future.

This new organization will expand on the visions of NAHC and NHPCO to support the full spectrum of providers that offer care in many settings Americans call home. Welcome to the National Alliance for Care at Home (the Alliance).

Steven Landers, MD, MPH, was named the inaugural Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Alliance for Care at Home (the Alliance) on August 26, 2024. Learn more about the leadership team and Alliance staff.

While the new organization’s name is still to be determined, the mission and vision are clear:

Mission: The National Alliance for Care at Home is the leading authority in transforming care in the home. We are an inclusive thought leader, advocate, educator, and convener and the unifying voice for those providing and receiving healthcare through all stages of life.

Vision: We envision an America where everyone has access to the highest quality, person-centered healthcare wherever they call home.

More will be shared about the goals of the alliance in the coming months.

NAHC and NHPCO are the two largest organizations representing, advocating, educating, and connecting providers of care in the home for millions of disabled, elderly, and dying Americans who depend on that care. This historic alliance will create the most powerful voice our community has seen fighting for our membership.

Coming together means we are better positioned to help you prepare for what’s to come, and to ensure that our larger, collective voice is heard on the issues that matter most.

Members of either legacy organization will soon have access to the existing resources of each through a new, temporary website during the transition period. Updates about accessing this website and other important news will be shared with our members when they become available.

In the future, members of the new organization will have access to the same member benefits – robust education, actionable toolkits and guidance, networking opportunities, and strong advocacy representation—but with more resources to deliver on these benefits than ever before.

Members of Committees, Councils, and Task Forces will be directly involved in determining how these bodies will support the new organization. While that consultative process is underway, existing Committees, Councils, and Task Forces will continue working. The Transition Board looks forward to discussions with these volunteer leaders. Thank you to all who contribute to our community by serving on a Committee, Council, or Task Force!
