NHPCO NewsLine Winter 2020 - 5

Message from Edo
Thoughts on the Season...
As I think about this holiday season and the New Year soon to begin, I reflect not only upon the ways in which
this year's holiday will be different: smaller gatherings, lack of travel, increased safety precautions, etc., but
also ways that I am so fortunate and thankful. I have my health, a job that is important and relevant, a
supportive board, engaged members, dedicated staff, and a loving family. Thanksgiving has passed and it
seems that our nation's celebrations of Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa will be colored with greater
awareness of the world around us.
This season is overshadowed by a public health emergency that we would never have imagined this time last
year. You and your teams are providing care under the most challenging of circumstances. Health care
providers are stretched to the breaking point and while advances on a vaccine are moving quickly, things will
not improve overnight.
Far too many Americans will not be together this season and many will be grieving an empty seat at their
holiday table. For many of the patients and families that you are caring for, this holiday will be marked with
grief and loss not necessarily brought about by COVID-19 but certainly complicated by it. You understand this
and address this pain in so many different ways - and your skill is something that our entire country should
be thankful for.
I also want to thank those providers who have already renewed for 2021, and
to those of you reviewing your provider renewal for the year ahead, please
make your membership with NHPCO a priority if you can. In fact, on the
previous page, you'll see some of our representative accomplishments from
this year. We have much that we can accomplish together. You are valued
and are an essential part of this organization and the broad national
provider community.
For all that you are doing, let me pass along gratitude from all of us at
NHPCO. And from my family to yours, have a peaceful holiday season and a
hopeful New Year!

Edo Banach, JD,
President and CEO
