title: Volunteer Hospice Network. A grass-roots model for community coalitions.
abstract: In 1995, the Hospice Association of America established the Volunteer Hospice Network to promote the growth, diversity, and development of volunteer organizations that serve those who are dealing with life-threatening illness and those who are grieving. Partnerships between these volunteer hospices and Medicare-certified hospices may possibly be a part of the answer to the future of the hospice movement.
