NHPCO NewsLine Summer 2020 - 35

Social media...
has become a place of refuge for many during the
COVID-19 pandemic. While scrolling through Instagram,
Twitter, and Facebook feeds, it's commonplace now to
come across photos or news stories of frontline health
care workers in the line of duty, donning PPE, and caring
for those stricken with illness. NHPCO wanted to create
a space on social media for hospice and palliative care
teams to share their photos and stories about caring
for patients and families during this health care crisis.
Programs have had to adapt their
care delivery while using creative
and meaningful ways to meet the
needs of their patients.
#hapcFacesOfCaring allows them
to share their face and voice with
the world as they care for the
most vulnerable population during
this unprecedented and
challenging time.
The photos and stories NHPCO
has received show some of the
best parts of humanity. Many are
pictures of the interdisciplinary
team members wearing masks
and conducting daily work like
team meetings virtually or
minding proper social distancing
measures while preparing to care
for patients.
Those who are working in
facilities are doing their best to
keep their patients' spirits lifted.
Rhonda, an AseraCare patient,
wanted to celebrate her birthday
with her husband. With the help
of the Dreamweaver Foundation
and AseraCare, Rhonda was
gifted balloons, flowers, and

dinner, and was able to
spend time with her
husband, even if it
was behind glass.
Hospice volunteers
are also feeling the
impact from
COVID-19 and the
change in visitation rules. But
that hasn't stopped them from
finding ways to reach and care
for their patients and their
hospice teams.
Johnny Simmons, Heartland
Hospice veteran volunteer, had
been visiting with patient Robert
since February. They hit it off
right away when Robert invited
Heartland into his "barracks."
Johnny visited Robert every other
week and they always had good
talks about their time in the
military. Johnny brought some of
his military equipment during one
of their visits, which sparked a lot
of conversation.

AseraCare staff help their patient
Rhonda celebrate her birthday.

The photos and
stories NHPCO
has received
show some of the
best parts of
humanity.

Due to the visitation restrictions
from COVID-19, Johnny was only
