Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act (PCHETA) Passes House Health Subcommittee

The U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health have advanced several healthcare bills, including the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act (PCHETA) backed by the Coalition to Transform Advanced Care (C-TAC) . PCHETA would improve the training of health professionals in palliative care, broaden national research programs in palliative care, and educate families and health professionals about the value of palliative care. C-TAC is convinced that investing in palliative care training resources is essential for ensuring that persons with serious, advanced illness get comprehensive, high-quality, person- and family-centered care that is aligned with their goals and values while maintaining their dignity.
