NHPCO NewsLine Winter 2017 - 5
Message From Edo
As the year comes to a close, many of us will enjoy time with loved ones. Others
will find quiet time away from the office to reflect and recharge. Still others -
including many of our care providers - will spend this time caring for patients and
families. All of us will welcome the New Year and I hope we are able to do this
with a sense of gratitude for the work we do and the lives we touch.
As I reflect upon this past year, I am particularly grateful of the opportunity to serve
as your president and CEO. These are important times for all health care providers
and I see a wealth of promise as we work collaboratively to build solutions to
America's challenges that we know so well as the leading providers of care for
patients and families with serious and life-limiting illness.
Edo Banach on the panel at the National
Academies Roundtable.
Two weeks ago, I participated on a panel for the National Academies Roundtable
on Quality Care for People with Serious Illness. I was able to talk about the
importance of person-centered, family-oriented interdisciplinary care that has
been a hallmark of hospice, and I stressed the knowledge that we as a provider
community have to share with the broader health care system. The National
Academies event was followed by a speaking opportunity at the BRG Healthcare
Leadership Conference. Hosted in Washington, DC, this conference is designed
expressly for top executives from healthcare, financial, private equity, and policy
arenas. It afforded another valuable opportunity for our organization and our
community to contribute to the dialogue about care issues facing society and
where solutions might be found. Given our collective experience of providing
interdisciplinary, person-centered care, we must be at the table for conversations
about providing the most appropriate, high-quality care to those with or at risk of
serious illness.
As the year comes to a close, I would like to thank each one of you who have done
so much to support NHPCO throughout this busy year. I invite you to look over
the list of representative accomplishments from this past year that you'll find on
page 20. I also invite you to review NHPCO's Strategic Priorities (page 4) that will
guide our work together.
On behalf of our dedicated board member, our staff and our affiliate
organizations, I wish you a peaceful holiday season and a happy New Year!
Edo Banach, JD
President and CEO
