Successful Hospice Marketing Methods The need for active marketing of hospice and palliative care is crucial. Although the hospice community has come forward in recent years with marketing efforts, more needs to be done, according to industry officials. While awareness of hospice is slowly spreading throughout the country, misconceptions and negative stigmas still exist. According to a communications and public relations executive at VITAS Innovative Hospice Care, “Americans appear to be increasingly more at ease in thinking about and discussing issues related to end-of-life care.” “But there are still huge gaps in Americans’ knowledge about these issues. Misconceptions about the cost and payment for end-of-life care persist among a sizable subset of the population.” Our objective in offering this CD-ROM of the teleconference, "Successful Hospice Marketing Methods," is to share those marketing methods that been successful in: Increasing the public's knowledge of hospice - emphasizing the wonderful work they do and allaying public fears; and Increasing physician's comfort level with Hospice - so patients are referred to Hospice in a more beneficial timeframe.This conference was held on April 14, 2005.
