At a time when the healthcare landscape continues to shift rapidly—placing new demands on patients, caregivers, and clinicians alike—holding fast to our values is not just necessary; it’s urgent. During the 2025 Annual Assembly, then-AAHPM President Dr. Vicki Jackson reminded us of this very truth: “We are dedicated to reaffirming our values.”
For those in the field of hospice and palliative medicine, these values aren’t abstract ideals. They show up every day—in the care we provide, the leadership we demonstrate, and the communities we nurture.
That vision is brought to life through tangible, impactful programs supported by the Academy:
- Leadership development to prepare clinicians to lead with clarity during uncertain times.
- High-quality education to ensure our members stay grounded in evidence-based, compassionate care.
- Mentorship and networking opportunities that keep clinicians connected to their passion and to each other.
These initiatives aren’t sustained by good intentions alone—they exist because of the generosity and commitment of our members.
Among the most impactful ways to support this work is through recurring giving. Monthly gifts provide a consistent, reliable foundation for the Academy to plan ahead, invest in new opportunities, and respond quickly when needs arise.
You don’t need to give a large amount to make a difference. Recurring gifts of any size add up to lasting impact. Whether it’s $5, $25, or more, your monthly contribution helps ensure the Academy remains a trusted source of support and inspiration for hospice and palliative care professionals across the country.
If AAHPM has shaped your journey as a clinician, leader, or advocate, consider becoming a recurring donor today. Together, we can make sure that our shared values continue to grow, evolve, and serve those who need them most.
Thank you for being part of this vital community. With your support, our vision for hospice and palliative care not only endures—it moves forward with purpose.
