Angel Palliative Care & Hospice Earns National Institute for Jewish Hospice (NIJH) Accreditation
Compassionate End-of-Life Care Rooted in Cultural Understanding
Angel Palliative Care & Hospice (APCH) is proud to be accredited by the National Institute for Jewish Hospice (NIJH), a nationally recognized organization dedicated to improving end-of-life care for Jewish patients and families through education, training, and cultural awareness.
