A tribute to Senator Frank E. Moss. The father of hospice & home care.

Senator Frank E. Moss and Congressman Claude Pepper were the keynote speakers at the first National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) Annual Meeting, which took place in Atlanta in 1982. This was very appropriate because Senator Moss developed the first legislation to cover home health and hospice in Medicare. Together, he and Congressman Pepper played the lead role in bringing about the enactment of these provisions. Although many people gave the title to Congressman Pepper, he deferred to Senator Moss as the one person whose legislation and done the most to benefit older Americans. Senator Moss served as NAHC's senior counsel from 1982 until his death earlier this year. NAHC's 22nd Annual Meeting, which will take place in Orlando, Florida, this year will be the first gathering of the home care family he will miss in the past 21 years. What follows is a tribute and remembrance of the man known as the father of the modern home care and hospice movements.
