Chapters Health System affiliates get accreditation
Chapters Health System affiliates have received accreditation from the National Institute for Jewish Hospice. HPH Hospice was awarded its first accreditation, and LifePath Hospice and Good Shepherd Hospice were re-accredited for the eighth straight year.
Established in 1985, the NIJH makes health care providers aware of the many unique needs of terminally ill patients of the Jewish faith.
The NIJH accreditation requires all staff and volunteers to become familiar with the various aspects of the Jewish observance in terms of death and mourning, medical ethics, and caring for hospice patients.
The affiliates of Chapters Health join 225 other hospice organizations from around the United States, and six others in Florida, that have taken the steps to earn NIJH accreditation.
