NHPCO NewsLine Spring 2018 - 32

Meet the Board of Direc
A Message from NHPCO's Board Chair
It's an exciting time within NHPCO and the broader provider community. I am well into my
second year as board chair as is our President and CEO Edo Banach. It's been a valuable time
of exploration, engagement and planning. The NHPCO board has been focused on issues that
include supporting the hospice and palliative care community, solidifying our foundation,
and exploring innovation and what it might mean for the field.
I want to be sure that all our members are familiar with NHPCO's Strategic Priorities for the
year - we shared them in the previous issue of NewsLine but we've included them in this
edition as well (see page 41). As we work together - as a unified provider community - to move these strategic
priorities forward, I want to take a moment to thank all of those serving on the NHPCO board of directors as well
as all our members who are actively engaged in our committees, councils, work groups, and serve as faculty for
our educational offerings. The expertise and insight that you graciously offer is beneficial to every individual
working in the field - as well as the patients and families for whom we care on a daily basis.
JAN JONES
NHPCO BOARD CHAIR

Also, let me thank each of you, our members, whose commitment and support of this organization makes all our
work possible. For the opportunity to work on your behalf, I am grateful.
