Home Care & Hospice Associations Form New Organization; Connecticut Association for Home Care & Hospice
Wallingford, CT (PRWEB) February 3, 2008 -- The Connecticut Association for Home Care and the Connecticut Council for Hospice & Palliative Care have officially merged to create a new single organization called the Connecticut Association for Home Care & Hospice (CAHCH).
The impetus for merger sprang from a two-year contractual relationship between the two separate organizations in which they worked closely and attained meaningful synergies.
"This new organizational structure creates a forum for advancing mutually beneficial ideas, not to mention the increased efficiencies in serving members," said Brian D. Ellsworth, President & CEO of CAHCH. "This merger also reinforces the continuum of care that exists in Connecticut."
Home care and hospice share many things in common, including:
? Prevention of avoidable hospitalization and institutional placement
? Maximized patient autonomy & choice
? Inclusion of loved ones in care for the patient
? Participation with third party programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance & Veterans Administration
"Together we are a strong voice when it comes to shaping--and improving--end of life care," said Don Schumacher, President & CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.
For more information contact Brian Ellsworth at 203-265-9931 or 860-874-6169 (cell).
About the Connecticut Association for Home Care & Hospice:
CAHCH's members include home health agencies, hospices, homemaker-companion agencies and other providers of home care and services. CAHCH supports its members in the delivery of exceptional quality and accessible home care and hospice services.
