The Council plays a central role in advising and updating organizational stakeholders on ethical issues in hospice and palliative care by providing ethics content and opportunities for discussion across NHPCO’s learning and professional development platforms; authoring and updating relevant NHPCO technical publications; and serving as an interdisciplinary resource in ethics to NHPCO leaders. Meets every other month.

Full Council member expectations can be found in the Guidelines for Committees and Councils.
