About This Free Membership Benefit
My.NHPCO is an online community that helps you “connect” with other members around the country. You can participate in end-of-life care discussions through eGroups (NHPCO’s new listserve) as well as post links to Insights articles that you found helpful, post other resources, and more. My.NHPCO registered users. You can group your contacts by interest or topic or region— however you wish. It’s also optional and something you can do over time. • Join the eGroups that Interest You If you were a fan of NHPCO’s former “listserves,” you’ll love eGroups—they make it easier to exchange information and ideas with your colleagues. Each discipline or job function within the hospice and palliative care field is represented by an “NCHPP section”—and has its own eGroup (e.g., Allied Therapists, Bereavement Professionals, Nurses). There are also eGroups based on areas of interest (e.g., Pediatrics, Rural, State Coalitions). When you join an eGroup, you can post and receive messages from the group. (You can view the message threads from any eGroup without joining (i.e., subscribing) to it; however, in order to participate in the discussions, you must join the eGroup.)
