New Resource: Black and African American Outreach Guide
NHPCO's Diversity Advisory Council has released a new resource, the
Black and African-American Outreach Guide. This guide, available
free-of-charge to anyone online, provides an overview of healthcare
disparities for Black and African-American health, strategies for
reaching out to Black and African-American communities, and
additional resources.

Black and African-American
Outreach Guide

This guide is an update of an older NHPCO resource. As the
introduction to the new guide explains, " In the setting of the COVID-19
pandemic, social unrest, racial health disparities and socioeconomic
determinants of health, the year 2020 has demanded a structural
shift within the healthcare system and United States as a whole...As
the infrastructure of our society modernizes and redefines itself, so
must the hospice and palliative care organizations servicing this same
social network. "

This resource was also highlighted in the February 24, 2021 Social Media Takeover Day, in which members of
NHPCO's Diversity Advisory Council utilized NHPCO's social media channels to share resources and
messages promoting healthcare equity, access, and inclusion. These posts are still available to read on
NHPCO's social media channels.

Pediatric E-Journal: Living with COVID-19
The 62nd issue of the Pediatric E-Journal is now available online. This
issue focuses on various aspects of living with COVID-19 in connection
with pediatric palliative, hospice, and end-of-life care. Although older
adults have suffered the brunt of the infection, the challenges this
pandemic has created affect all of us. Not only have we had to create
different ways of living our everyday lives, but we have also had to
create different ways to provide care and services to all populations.
For many, there have been significant disruptions.
This issue of the Pediatric E-Journal has been produced at a time
when huge and unprecedented numbers of people are dying from this
disease. It is also a time when the disease continues to give rise to
many different challenges and to a few opportunities. The NHPCO
Pediatric Advisory Council hopes the contents of this issue will
provoke fruitful discussions about living with COVID-19 in early 2021.
