Govenor Murphy Signs Palliative Care Bill

Posted 11 months ago in Legislation

Dear Friends,

It is with tremendous pride and gratitude that we write to share some good news. Yesterday, Governor Murphy signed the palliative care bill, officially making it the law in NJ that Medicaid cover community-based palliative care beginning in 2026! Office of the Governor | Governor Murphy Takes Action on Legislation (nj.gov)

This remarkable advocacy win is big for NJ and paves the way for thousands to be better supported throughout their serious illness journey! We hope you all take a moment to reflect on the hard work we did together to make this happen. It is because of your ongoing support and engagement that we were successful in advocating for this policy change and we look forward to working together in the new year!  

Wishing you all the best this holiday season,

Dave, Beth and Lori
