 Texas Partnership for End-of-Life
Care names 2005 Statewide Champion Awards for
Excellence in End-of-Life and
Palliative Care
The Texas Partnership for End-of-Life Care (TxPEC) will celebrate the
"Dancing with Stars" Champions Gala at the TDS Exotic Game Ranch
in Creedmoor, Texas, on November 18th, 2005. The Gala honors the contributions of advocates
in the field of end-of-life and palliative care in Texas.
Our 2005 champions were chosen from
a host of nominations provided by members, organizations, and
the general public from across the state of Texas. Many of the
Champions were chosen for their work in hospice, program
development, hospital palliative care, prison hospice, or
pediatric palliative care. Others were chosen because they are
making a significant contribution in a practice setting such as
oncology or geriatrics. Still others were chosen for their
involvement in public policy initiatives that improve end-of-life
care at the statewide level. For all these reasons, TxPEC is proud
to announce the Texas Champions in End-of-Life Care for 2005. They
