NHPCO NewsLine Fall 2020 - 29

People in our field begin, as they always
have, by showing up.
iconic photos and video clips showing gowned nurses, respiratory
therapists, aides and doctors turning intubated patients in careful
synchrony, and caregivers wearing "Face Behind the Mask" posters on
their hospital gowns as they introduce themselves to patients. In one
photo a hospice nurse stands outside a building looking up to her
patient on the second floor. She's waving a paper heart she holds in her
left hand while her right rests over her own heart. A chaplain prays with
patients who are safely behind nursing home windows. A large church
congregates in a vacant field, praying together safely from their
respective cars. A daughter holds a "We love you, Mom" sign from
outside the front door. People blow kisses across FaceTime screens.
Screen shots show families gathered by Zoom: one in mid-sentence;
another trying to smile while holding back tears; a couple cradling their
infant before the camera; a teenager staring in wide-eyed silence; all
honoring and celebrating a person they love who is ill and may not
survive. Our field bears witness to the potential for well-being in dire
predicaments.

Keynote
2020 Virtual
Interdisciplinary
Conference
Ira Byock, MD, FAAHPM,
will deliver the opening
keynote presentation at
NHPCO's 2020 Virtual
Interdisciplinary
Conference. Join us live

Hospice and palliative caregivers in every corner of our country are,
once again, teaching by example and adding to an experiential
curriculum that was not wanted, but is, nevertheless, invaluable.

on October 14, 2:00 p.m.

People in the United States have been harshly taught, once and for all,
that American exceptionalism is just a phrase. We've been forcefully
reminded that human beings are inextricably interconnected. What
happens in China doesn't stay in China. What happens in New York
City, Los Angeles, Detroit, Minneapolis, Miami, Houston or Atlanta
matters to us all. And what our leaders in Washington, DC and our
state capitals do - or fail to do - affects us all in the most intimate of
ways.

Promise of Human

ET for "Back to the
Future - Fulfilling the
Caring." Registration for
the VIDC is open now.

Through countless acts of skillful caring and kindness, people who
comprise our field are acting clinically and locally and contributing
culturally and globally. Because, after all, we are all in this together.
With 2020 vision, that much is now clear.

Ira Byock, MD, FAAHPM, is the Founder and Chief Medical Officer with
The Institute for Human Caring.
