SUMMARY:Spring Intensive 2026
DESCRIPTION:Spring Intensive: Regulatory Update 2026\nBetter Together: Strengthening Care Through Community Partnership\nMay 7–8\, 2026  |  Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel  |  Portland\, Oregon\nJointly hosted by the Oregon Hospice & Palliative Care Association (OHPCA) and the Washington State Hospice & Palliative Care Organization (WSHPCO)\n\n\n\nRegister\n\nShort Schedule (printable)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetailed Schedule\n\nHotel & Travel\n\nSponsor / Exhibit\n\nContinuing Education\n\n\n\n\n\nConference Details\nDates: May 7–8\, 2026\nLocation: Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel\, Portland\, Oregon\nHosted by: OHPCA & WSHPCO\nContinuing Education: 10.75 Contact Hours / CEUs (see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Conference\nThe Spring Intensive: Regulatory Update is an annual conference jointly hosted by OHPCA and WSHPCO\, focused on the evolving regulatory landscape shaping hospice and palliative care. As providers continue to navigate ongoing changes related to payment reform\, compliance oversight\, and quality reporting requirements\, the need for accurate information and thoughtful interpretation of regulations remains essential.\nThis year’s program expands that focus by highlighting the important role of community partnership in delivering comprehensive\, person-centered end-of-life care. Better Together: Strengthening Care Through Community Partnership explores how collaboration with organizations and professionals outside of traditional hospice and palliative care can enhance care planning\, broaden available resources\, and better support patients and families throughout the end-of-life journey.\nIn addition to regulatory updates\, the Spring Intensive features perspectives from invited experts whose work intersects with end-of-life care but may fall outside the hospice and palliative care setting. These sessions are designed to help care teams better understand the expertise\, services\, and regulatory considerations that exist beyond their own organizations\, and how intentional collaboration can strengthen communication\, coordination\, and care delivery.\nBy examining how hospice and palliative care providers can work more effectively with community-based partners\, this year’s program offers practical insight into expanding the “menu” of support available to patients and families\, while continuing to meet regulatory expectations and deliver high-quality\, compassionate care.\n\n\n\nRegistration Rates\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Type\n2 Days\n1 Day\nExhibitor Table\n\n\n\n\nOHPCA / WSHPCO Members\n$595 per person\n$350 per person\n$750\n\n\nNon-Members\n$850 per person\n$495 per person\n$1\,500\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\nSponsor / Exhibit\n\n\n\n\nHotel & Travel\nSheraton Portland Airport Hotel\n8235 NE Airport Way\, Portland\, OR 97220\n|\n\nView on Map\n\nPlease book your group rate for the OHPCA/WSHPCO Spring Intensive at the Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel\, offering a special group rate of $155 per night.\nLast day to book: Extended through Tuesday\, April 28\, 2026\n\nBook the Hotel Room Block\n\n(If the room block appears full\, you may still wish to contact the hotel directly to ask about additional availability.)\n\n\n\nSponsorship Levels\n\nRunway Sponsor — $4\,000\nRunway Sponsors provide core support for the Spring Intensive and help make the conference possible.
