The mission of the Healthcare Advocacy and Leadership Organization is to promote, protect, and advocate for the rights of the medically vulnerable through direct patient and family interactions; through community education and awareness programs; and through promotion and development of concrete “life-affirming healthcare"* alternatives for those facing the grave consequences of healthcare rationing and unethical practices, especially those at risk of euthanasia and assisted suicide.

Vulnerabilities in Hospice Care

The Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) monitors the care provided by hospice programs.

OIG reports that some Medicare beneficiaries were seriously harmed when hospices provided poor care or failed to take action in cases of abuse. Get more details here.

If you have any concerns about hospice care that a loved one is receiving, go to: Know Your Rights, Take Action for help in addressing these issues.

To help prevent the possibility of concerns with hospice care, before choosing a hospice, use the Hospice Questions found under Resources on this web site.
