NHPCO NewsLine Summer 2017 - 33
Background In 2002, after the death
of my brother from ALS, I attended a
hospice volunteer training at the VNA
near Burlington, Vermont. During the
course of the training I learned that
the Madison Deane Initiative (MDI)*
would be conducting an audio
interview with Florence Wald and
Dame Cicely Saunders for an NPR
radio segment. After the meeting I
approached the staff and suggested
that they consider filming the
interview, as given their ages, this
would be a golden opportunity to
capture the personal stories and
context from these icons of the
movement. Within a few short
weeks, an outline and production
schedule to produce a documentary,
with the inclusion of Elisabeth Kübler
Ross and Balfour mount, had been
solidified and funded!
Following the extraordinary
interviews and a lengthy editing
period, the film was released in 2004.
It was the winner of the 2004 NHPCO
film of the year award. It went on to
be distributed, however not as widely
as I had hoped. Moreover, I felt the
film was not yet complete.
So, why a re-envisioning? I felt
strongly that the film had to be more
concise and that every hospice
should have this story in their library
for volunteer and staff training at an
affordable price. So, in 2016, I
contacted the MDI and re-acquired
the rights to the film. Also, along the
way I added some new voices for
greater clarity and pioneering work
for the future.
Why now? As hospice and palliative
care serves an increasing number of
patients and families it becomes
increasingly important to preserve
the legacy of its origins. Especially at
a time when health care costs and
financial pressures grow, it is
essential to insure that the heart of
hospice is what moves us forward
and not just the bottom line.
Special Gift I am offering all
hospices access to embed a special
section of the film on Dame Cicely
Saunders and St. Christopher's
hospice. It is the same piece that was
highlighted at the recent NHPCO
Management and Leadership
Conference to honor the 50th
anniversary of St. Christopher's and
Dame Cicely's enduring legacy.
...it becomes increasingly
important to preserve
the legacy...
