New York hospice advocates urge Gov. Hochul to sign a bill pausing for-profit hospice expansion due to lower care quality and patient safety concerns.
Hospice workers in New York are urging Governor Kathy Hochul to sign a bill that would pause the expansion of for-profit hospices until stronger patient protections are in place.
Advocates cite studies showing lower care quality in for-profit settings, including fewer services, less clinical staffing, and worse patient experiences.
The legislation, passed by both legislative chambers, aims to prevent exploitation, fraud, and workforce strain, particularly as private equity and publicly traded companies expand in hospice care.
A 2024 JAMA study found such hospices scored lower on consumer assessments.
The bill awaits Hochul’s signature.
Los defensores de los hospicios de Nueva York urgen al gobernador Hochul para firmar un proyecto de ley que pausa la expansión de hospicio con fines de lucro debido a la menor calidad de la atención y preocupaciones de seguridad del paciente.
