NHPCO NewsLine Fall 2019 - 4
Message from Edo
As I write this, communities in Dayton and El Paso
are grieving. Emotions are still raw in Orlando, Las
Vegas, and Newtown. At the current rate, another
tragic mass shooting will have occurred by the time
you read this.
The headlines tell us that the mass shooting epidemic
is a public health crisis. They have me reflecting on
the extraordinary daily homicide rates in D.C.,
Chicago, St. Louis and other urban areas across the
country and the less known fact that every day about
60 people take their own life with a gun.
So, I ask, what is our role as the country tries to deal
with unimaginable pain and loss? As hospice, we do
what we have always done. We simply figure out how
we can help. We provide trauma-informed care. Given
the magnitude of the incidents, some providers must
offer it to their whole communities. We let others
debate constitutionality and legality of controversial
issues while we step forward as responsible
professionals to help others pick up the pieces. Our
team members will modestly continue to minister to
the public, help survivors deal with their loss, and
support first responders as they heal while the press
moves on to the next story.
Reporters are not reaching out to learn more about
our work in caring for grieving communities in the
wake of these mass shootings. Some recent stories in
the press and social media have focused on hospice,
but regrettably, not on the positive and unique role of
hospices - such as bereavement services to the
community. Individuals are instead writing about
their negative experiences, including some respected
journalists with visible platforms. These are not made
up stories. These are rare but true examples of
hospice falling short. Indeed, the attention received by
the findings in the OIG reports released in July is
greater than it has ever been. Now is the time for our
field to up our collective game and make sure that
hospices not only meet but exceed expectations. I call
