Since 1998 CHP has maintained a system-wide commitment to improving care of persons with life-threatening illnesses, particularly in the last stages of life.  CHP's sponsors, board and executive leaders believe that continued pursuit of excellence in the care of persons and families experiencing life-threatening illnesses is an important expression of  our Mission to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.
