NHPCO Welcomes Congressional Reintroduction of the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training ActNHPCO NHPCO and its advocacy affiliate, The Hospice Action Network (HAN) are pleased to support the reintroduction of the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act (PCHETA) in the U.S. Senate. This bipartisan legislation (S. 2243) would invest in the training, education, and research required to ensure the hospice and palliative care workforce of tomorrow. “Every American facing a serious or life-limiting illness deserves access to quality hospice and palliative care. We desperately need to train more professionals in the field of palliative medicine. Without efforts to address the existing workforce shortage, there will be only one palliative physician for every 26,000 seriously ill patients by 2030,” said COO and interim CEO of NHPCO, Ben Marcantonio. “Thank you to Senators Baldwin and Capito for your leadership in reintroducing the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act.” |
