The hospice locator tool is another valuable resource for families in need of hospice care -and they find our members first. Another referral opportunity stream is TNMHPOs phone number, which is published in Medicares hospice booklet. When individuals and families call that number in search of quality hospice care, TNMHPO directs them to member organizations whenever possible. ANNUAL CONFERENCETNMHPO hosts an annual conference each spring with an average attendance of more than 400 hospice professionals. During this meeting, general sessions with nationally recognized experts in hospice and palliative care are provided over 50 breakout sessions that are tailored to the individual and professional needs of the participants.
