National Hospice Palliative Care Week 2019

May 5-11, 2019

Busting the myths on Hospice Palliative Care!

SCROLL DOWN to view downloadable posters

For this year’s campaign, CHPCA has created a downloadable poster that debunks 10 popular myths about hospice palliative care. To continue the conversation online, social media users are invited to test their knowledge to debunk myths by engaging with CHPCA’s Facebook and Twitter questions throughout the week. In addition, social media users are encouraged to use the hashtag #BustingtheMyths to share myths they’ve encountered.
