Virtual Hill Day Amplifies the Hospice Message
Galvanizing Hospice Advocates to Support the Call to Congress
In addition to the work that the on-the-ground advocates accomplished
on Capitol Hill, advocates and hospice supporters across the country
participated virtually by contacting their elected officials in the annual
Virtual Hill Day coordinated by the Hospice Action Network.
More than 230 phone calls and 180 emails representing 41 states were
received by Congressional offices specifically calling for support of the
Personalize Your Care Act of 2016, the Rural Access to Hospice Act, and the
Care Planning Act. The flood of virtual advocacy along with the hospice
advocates carrying this message to the halls of Congress resulted in a
coordinated voice of hospice that was strong, enthusiastic and on message.
Virtual advocates further amplified the voice of hospice by taking to
social media to share the call for action and support.

NHPCO NewsLine | Fall 2016
Our
Legislative
Agenda
The Hospice Action Network
advocates for pieces of legislation
that ensure timely access to hospice
and palliative care services,
improve hospices' access to a
qualified, trained workforce, assure
appropriate reimbursement for
services, and promote effective
oversight to promote high quality
care, transparency, accountability
and patient choice.
This year, the Advocacy Intensive
focused on building support for two
key policies: legislation that
promotes advance care planning
and early access to hospice care
(HR 5555, the Personalize Your
Care Act/S. 1549 the Care Planning
Act), and legislation that facilitates
hospice care in rural communities
(S. 2786/HR 5799, the Rural Access
to Hospice Act).
Both the Personalize Your Care Act
and the Care Planning Act work to
improve advance care planning so
that an individual's end-of-life
wishes will be honored even if they
are no longer able to communicate
them. The bills also authorize
demonstration projects to allow
hospice care alongside more
conventional, curative treatments.
There are some differences between
the two bills, but in general, they
would both support advance care
planning and earlier access to
hospice and palliative care.
