mumms ® Software and AtRisk Registry™ Lend Support to Hospice By Naming a Space at the National Center for Care at the End of Life Contributions Push the Campaign for the National Center to $3.8 million Support from individuals, corporations, and foundations have helped the campaign to raise funds for the National Center for Care at the End of Life closer to our goal of raising $10 million by 2015. One of the many ways to give to the campaign is through NHF’s naming opportunities which allow donors to select a space within the National Center to designate with their name or in honor of someone by making a contribution. mumms Software and AtRisk Registry recently contributed to the National Center through a naming opportunity. mumms is a comprehensive mobile software system that fully integrates hospice and palliative care programs. The system is designed to automate and streamline the coordinated care required for hospice programs. The AtRisk Registry, an offspring of mumms, was created in response to Hurricane Katrina and its effect on end-of-life care throughout the Gulf Coast. The AtRisk Registry is a secure, web-based patient tracking system used by Gulf state governments and hospices, and is available to all state hospice organizations. “During the 21st century the National Center is poised to become the nexus for educating and cultivating future hospice caregivers,” said Leo Radosta, President. “Together the staff at mumms and the AtRisk Registry have demonstrated an unwavering two-and-a half decade long history of professional and personal investment in supporting and expanding hospice care. We’d like to be remembered for the value of our work as it expanded beyond the caregiver’s reach.” To learn more about the National Center for Care at the End of Life and ways to support our campaign, visit: www.nationalhospicefoundation.org. Plans for the National Hospice Foundation’s Annual Gala Are Underway Join Us As We Pay Tribute to Our Pediatric Patients The 2013 Gala will embrace those at the center of our care — the patients and families we serve. This year, we pay special tribute to the youngest , our pediatric patients. With actress Melissa Gilbert as our Honorary Chair, we will honor these heroic patients and those who love and care for them. Our program will feature the Center for Children’s Hospice and Palliative Care, a center of NHPCO’s Mary J. Labyak Institute for Innovation. Through this center, NHPCO is committed to making the best-known practices in pediatric hospice and palliative care more available to care providers. Working in collaboration with the Children’s Project on Palliative/Hospice Services (ChiPPS), NHPCO focuses on raising awareness of how children’s needs are different from those of adults and educating hospice providers about how to best care for them and their families. We hope you will join us for this fabulous celebration. For more information, we invite you to visit www.nationalhospicefoundation. org/2013gala.
