About This Free Membership Benefit
My.NHPCO is an online community that helps you “connect” with other members around the country. You can participate in end-of-life care discussions through eGroups (NHPCO’s new listserve) as well as post links to Insights articles that you found helpful, post other resources, and more.
•
Search for Colleagues and Add Them to Your Contact List You can build your own network of contacts from the list of My.NHPCO registered users. You can group your contacts by interest or topic or region— however you wish. It’s also optional and something you can do over time. Join the eGroups that Interest You If you were a fan of NHPCO’s former “listserves,” you’ll love eGroups—they make it easier to exchange information and ideas with your colleagues. Each discipline or job function within the hospice and palliative care field is represented by an “NCHPP section”—and has its own eGroup (e.g., Allied Therapists, Bereavement Professionals, Nurses). There are also eGroups based on areas of interest (e.g., Pediatrics, Rural, State Coalitions). When you join an eGroup, you can post and receive messages from the group. (You can view the message threads from any eGroup without joining (i.e., subscribing) to it; however, in order to participate in the discussions, you must join the eGroup.)
2. Select the Login tab and enter your member ID and password 3. Select the eGroup tab 4. Select “Add/Change Subscriptions” to join an eGroup. You are eligible to join as many eGroups are you like. You can also choose the way you want to receive posts and how frequently: • Real Time: You will receive messages via email as soon as an eGroup message is posted Daily Digest: You will get an e-mail once a day with all the posts from that eGroup for the previous day PDA: When a message is posted to that eGroup, you will receive notification on your PDA No Email: You will be a subscriber and will be able to post and reply to messages, but you will not receive notifications of new posts

Getting Started:
There are just four simple steps to get started. These steps are posted on My.NHPCO, but are provided here to illustrate just how easy it really is: • Login Go to http://my.nhpco.org (do not add “www”) and enter your member ID and password. If your organization belongs to NHPCO, but you don’t yet have a member ID and password, simply call the NHPCO Member Services Center to request one: 800-646-6460. • Update Your NHPCO Professional Profile When you register with NHPCO and receive a member ID and password, your My.NHPCO profile is automatically populated with basic contact information. However, you can update the profile and add a photo if you wish—just select the tab, My.Network.
