Free Distance-learning Sessions on Serving Veterans NHPCO’s E-OL (End of Life Online) offers a range of distance-learning courses for staff and volunteers at all levels. Among the offerings are six short sessions on serving Veterans at the end of life—available to NHPCO members free of charge: Understanding Veteran Benefits 30 minutes Having knowledge of Veteran benefits rates high on Veteran and family hospice satisfaction surveys. While this short session won’t make you an expert, it will help you become familiar with the VA benefits that are most likely to be relevant to Veteran patients under hospice care. Service-related Diseases, Illnesses and Conditions 20 Minutes Provides an overview of the various military eras, and their servicerelated diseases, illnesses and conditions—from both the clinical and benefits perspectives. Understanding the VA 30 minutes Provides a basic understanding of the philosophy and structure of the Department of Veterans Affairs and some of the benefits that are available to Veterans. Wounded Warriors: Their Last Battle 1.25 hours Deborah Grassman, the author of Peace at Last: Stories of Hope and Healing for Veterans and Their Families, delivered this powerful plenary at NHPCO’s 11th Clinical Team Conference. She discusses how the experience of war manifests itself in many intricate ways, offering invaluable perspective to those serving Veterans at the bedside. Building a Veteran-centric Culture 30 minutes Provides a context for joining We Honor Veterans in transforming the hospice and palliative care culture to recognize our nation’s Veterans. Hospice Veteran Partnership Program 26 Minutes Provides information about starting a Hospice-Veteran Partnership, as well as how to keep it going and evaluate its success.
