PAHPM supports the National Coalition for Hospice & Palliative Care's  Statement on Racism and the Killing of George Floyd  in speaking out against social injustice. We must not be silent. We must put actions with our words. We must support our communities who are living with serious illness and dying on the margins. This requires holistic and systemic change. 

PAHPM supports our Palliative Coalition Partners and those with the Center to Advance Palliative care in speaking out against social injustice.  We must not be silent.  We must put actions with our words.
