NHPCO NewsLine Fall 2020 - 5

Message from Edo
A Grieving Nation
The COVID-19 public health emergency continues to surge in regions across the county with some states
seeing numbers climb, drop, and climb again. NHPCO has been committed to offering resources to members
and non-members alike to help them distill the overwhelming amount of information that continues to come
as we learn more about COVID-19.
But beyond the immediate toll of COVID-19, I am worried about latent grief and suffering. In addition to the
regulatory and legislative updates, we have redoubled our efforts to recognize and provide resources to
address the grief that the pandemic has caused across the nation. This includes our MyNHPCO Bereavement
Professionals e-community offering support to our members.
According to an article from Kaiser Health News, nine other people are affected by the death of a single
individual from COVID-19. As we look at the statistics of those who have died, the reverberations will be felt
far and wide. And I'm not sure this number includes the stress that has fallen on hospice and palliative care
providers coping with this unprecedented situation.
As organizations with roots deep into the communities we serve, we
should think how we can step up our efforts to address the significant
bereavement needs we are seeing. There are many hospices that are
already offering support groups to the community, have created
online resources, and have been providing support to other health
care professionals and first responders. Let us learn from one
another and be sure we are caring for ourselves as we care for
those in our communities. It will take more than a village to meet
the overwhelming needs of our communities, and we will be right
there with you every step of the way.
With admiration for the work you continue to do.

Edo Banach, JD,
President and CEO
