Healthsperien is proud to share that our Founder & President, Tom Koutsoumpas, has authored a new opinion piece in U.S. News & World Report reflecting on the history, impact, and future of hospice care in America.

In the article, Tom draws on his personal experiences from the 1970s—witnessing the challenges faced by families navigating end-of-life care before hospice became widely available—and shares why he has dedicated his career to advocating for compassionate, dignified care that values people over profits.

Today, hospice is an essential part of our healthcare system, but sustaining and expanding access requires continued support and thoughtful policy. Tom’s piece underscores why protecting hospice and palliative care must remain a national priority.
