NHPCO's Rural Task Force
Looks at Key Issues
P
roviding some of the findings
from research undertaken
by such noteworthy agencies and
research institutions is important
to NHPCO's Rural Task Force.
However, the task force continues
its own work focusing on issues that
are so critically important to our
community.
The work of the Rural Task
Force has always been a clear
priority among NHPCO's board
and leadership. Currently, the
task force is chaired by board
member Sandy Kuhlman while
the previous task force chair
was Linda Rock, current NHPCO
board chair.

At NHPCO's recent Management
and Leadership Conference, Rock
stressed the importance of access
to hospice in rural areas during
her plenary remarks on May 1,
"Every person in this country
should have access to hospice
care regardless of where they
live whether it's in an urban,
rural or frontier area. And we're
committed to making sure that
remains the case."
