We switched platforms in Feb 2024. If you haven't already, you will need to create a NEW account. Contact info@swhpn.org for assistance.
We're on a mission to revolutionize hospice and palliative care by making it a more equitable experience for everyone involved, including the clinicians at its heart.
If you're a healthcare provider committed to dismantling structures of oppression and crave the support you need for a fulfilling career instead of a draining one, you’re in the right place.

What people are saying
Alisha McGuire
I joined SWHPN when I transitioned into the world of palliative (and hospice) social work. I have gotten so much out of my membership; ranging from education, professional/career development, mentorship, and lifelong friendships. SWHPN has helped be the platform in the "next steps" of my career from the micro to the macro!
Arika Patneaude
I joined SWHPN because I wanted to be in community with other HAPC social workers and interprofessional colleagues. I remain a SWHPN member because I want to make an impact on HAPC as a field in engaging in and committing to anti-oppression and anti-racist end-of-life care with colleagues and an organization that are committed to this as a mission. As HAPC professionals we cannot provide high quality serious illness care from diagnosis to death without being culturally responsive and anti-racist.
Jennifer Hill Buehrer
Social work in the medical field is lonely - palliative care social work even more so! I love the chance to connect with other professionals who understand that, and who do the same really difficult, emotionally challenging work I do.
