“Our Board of Directors is comprised of a dedicated team of program leaders who each bring unique strengths and perspectives that help guide NPHI in its mission to be the national voice for our not-for-profit hospice, palliative and advanced illness care member programs,” said NPHI CEO Tom Koutsoumpas.
