NHPCO NewsLine Fall 2017 - 5

Message From Edo
As many of you know, being a father to two young children is part of who I
am. Earlier this month, I sent my Eleanor and Henry off to first and third
grade, respectively. As they prepared for the new school year, I reminded
them of the many people they are likely to meet - people who might look or
act differently but who may turn out to be friends and teachers. I stressed the
importance of accepting others and to remember that those who are different
might have important lessons to share with us. I'm sure many of you who are
parents and grandparents are familiar with this scene.
In reading the cover article of this quarter's NewsLine, I'm reminded of
similar words of guidance. Dr. Acquaviva wisely points out that inclusive care
is simply good care. However, it isn't necessarily "simple." We need to be
willing to learn from others.
You will care for many diverse people in your careers. There will be people
with different sexual orientations and gender identities, as Dr. Acquaviva's
article explores. There will also be people of different races and ethnicities.
Patients and families we serve will be different from us based on family
structure, faith tradition, education, economic status, political leanings, and
more. Amidst all the variables that make up this wonderful, diverse world,
we never forget that we share our humanity. I believe, ultimately, that we are
far more alike than we are different and we can learn from one another.

Edo Banach, JD
President and CEO

In watching news coverage following the recent hurricanes that have left
great devastation in their wake, I have been profoundly touched by images of
neighbor helping neighbor, of communities coming together to help all in
need. That's what you all do every day. I am particularly honored to be
working on behalf of so many hospice providers that have put the needs of
those they serve ahead of their own personal needs. For your dedication and
compassion, I thank you.
We, as a provider community, care for people during one of life's most
challenging journeys; we walk alongside those facing serious illness and
death; we support those coping with significant loss and grief. And we do
this with a clear understanding that we are all individuals that deserve the
best that we can offer. More than ever, the world needs us.
For the many lessons I am learning from you all, thank you!
