Hospice Advocacy: Outcome Resources goes to Washington!
Posted by Penelope Gatlin
Last week the Outcome Resources team participated for the second year in Capitol Hill Day in Washington DC along with hundreds of hospice advocates from around the nation. You can check out our pictures from Capitol Hill Day and the NHPCO 25th MLC on our Facebook page at www.bit.ly/NHPCOpics.
Also, take a look at the video of the Hospice Action Network Capitol Hill Day Pep Rally with Don Schumacher, Susan Lloyd, Representative Blumenauer, and Senator Wyden speaking on behalf of hospice: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/nhpco-han.
A special thank you is due to NHPCO and the Hospice Action Network for their tireless and ongoing efforts at lobbying on behalf of hospice year round, and all the hard work that goes into making Capitol Hill Day a success. The Hospice Action Network has also issued a challenge to continue with Virtual Hill Day to reach a goal of 10,000 calls to the Hill. They also have a platform which makes it easy for you to submit letters to your representatives as well as letters to the editor to advocate for hospice at http://capwiz.com/nhpco/.
As we move forward in these times, cost management must be a concern for all hospice programs as we face the possibility of further cuts. Outcome Resources is dedicated exclusively to hospices, and decreasing costs while increasing the quality of patient care is our mission. If we can be of assistance to your hospice, please contact us or request a call to learn more about solutions that may benefit your hospice and community.
