NHPCO NewsLine Fall 2016 - 7

Message From Don As I navigate my remaining months as President and CEO, I want to be sure to express the deep appreciation that I have for you - our members - and your commitment to NHPCO and our shared vision of the highest quality care that humankind can offer. The work of NHPCO would not be possible without your support and it is never taken for granted. In thinking about what NHPCO does, it can be easy to think only of the resources that you as a member might access for your daily work. But there are many things that your membership in NHPCO makes possible. Though your support, we are able to: * Advocate on behalf of hospice and palliative care and the patients and families served; * Work to protect the Medicare hospice benefit; * Monitor Congressional and regulatory activities; * Proactively engage with CMS on matters vital to hospice care delivery; * Maintain the highly-respected National Data Set and other performance measurement tools; * Develop professional educational programs and conference - onsite and online; * Conduct national consumer awareness initiatives that increase understanding and availability of hospice and palliative care; * Provide technical informational resources to the membership; * Offer the "Find a Provider" online tool on multiple websites; * Work closely with other organizations that share an interest in end-of-life care. Through your ongoing membership dues, board service, committee participation, contributions as conference and webinar faculty, and your willingness to work together, we are strengthening the unified hospice and palliative care community while we work to envision our future. There have been challenges, certainly, but by addressing challenges directly and allowing our strategic plan to guide us, we have discovered opportunities to enhance quality and expand innovation as we work to define the continuum of care. Our work together requires trust. Trust among our colleagues and staff at the organizational level as well as trust among the broader national provider community. For the trust you have generously given to NHPCO, I thank you. P.S. I hope to see many of you at our event in Hollywood, Florida, The Intensives, (Oct. 31 - Nov. 2) which is replacing the CTC in 2016. It was be a final chance to greet you as President and CEO!
