Virtual Hill Week is June 18-22, 2018, and everyone across the U.S. is encouraged to participate: hospice staff, caregivers, family members, patients, supporters, and community members.
NHPCO and its affiliate
organization, the Hospice Action Network, are asking citizens to urge
Congress to support access to hospice care and quality end-of-life care
for all Americans.
Please set aside a few minutes this week to ask Members of Congress to cosponsor the Rural Access to Hospice Act
(PDF). The Rural Access to Hospice Act would help millions of rural
Americans retain their attending physician when transitioning to hospice
care. Please contact Congress today and make sure your voice is heard
on Capitol Hill.
Hospice Action Network has created a Virtual Hill Week website and online advocacy module that
makes it simple to ensure your elected officials know of your support
for quality end-of-life care. The advocacy module offers a series of
communication options, including submitting an email, making a phone
call, and posting on social media. NHPCO and HAN urge you to consider
completing all options!
Do your part this week to advocate on behalf of patients facing
serious illness and the end of life. If you have any questions, feel
free to email the HAN Team at info@nhpcohan.org.
