NCHPP & My.NHPCO
Your Connection to the Hospice & Palliative Care Community
By Amanda M. Bow, Director, Communications

W

hen I was working in the hospice provider
community as a development and
communications professional, I was eager to find peers in
similar hospice organizations to network with. I worked
at a small, rural, non-profit and was a department of one.
I was thrilled to learn that NHPCO had a group called
the National Council of Hospice and Palliative Care
Professionals or NCHPP. I was even more excited to
learn that the online networking community My.
NHPCO existed, giving me the ability to participate in
discussions and learn more about what my peers were
working on in their own organizations. I had the
ability to connect with others who worked for similar
sized organizations and dealt with the same
challenges and opportunities that I had dealt with.
When I attended my first MLC, I participated in the
NCHPP networking lunch on the first day of the
conference. It was so great to meet like-minded
professionals in person, and share ideas and struggles.
Now that I'm working on the "other side," I'm
learning more about how valuable NCHPP and My.
NHPCO are to our members. NCHPP is community of
14,000 strong and continues to grow every day. If you
aren't connected, what are you waiting for?
NCHPP
NCHPP is a collaborative of 15 discipline-specific
groups advancing end-of-life care within their
discipline and through interdisciplinary collaboration.
NHPCO members can choose a primary and
secondary section.

My.NHPCO
NHPCO's online professional networking community
connects you with other hospice and palliative care
professionals. You will find a community for your
NCHPP sections as well as several others that might
interest you. You can share your professional expertise
and find solutions to challenges through discussion
boards, direct messages, and a comprehensive
resource library.
One of the most exciting features of NCHPP is the free
monthly chat opportunities. Most NCHPP sections hold
a monthly chat on a topic relevant to the section. Chats
are coordinated by the section steering committee and
are led by experts in the topic they are instructing.
In 2017 the NCHPP community held 82 chats with
over 10,400 attendees. Chat topics included:
* Ethical Considerations in Bereavement Care
(Bereavement Professionals)
* The Top 3 Concerns Families Have About Their
Dying Loved One (Certified Nursing Assistant)
* How to Share Your Stories: Merging Fundraising
and Human Interest (Development, PR, Marketing)
* Building an Integrative Program Utilizing
Evidenced-Based Practice and Outcome Measures
(Integrative and Rehabilitative Therapies)
