Episode 024, Interview with Edo Banach of NHPCO

When Edo Banach became the president and CEO of the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) in 2017, he began touring the country and visiting with hospice providers so that he could learn from them what's good about hospice, and what needs to change.  We had the privilege of spending some time with Edo, and listening to him share his thoughts on what hospice is doing right here in America, and what are some of the things that needs to change so that hospice can provide even better care for those with life-limiting illnesses.   In this episode you will also hear about the unusual thing that Edo does for self care.  Be sure and listen all the way to the end of the episode.  To learn more about NHPCO, simply visit their website.  They also have a podcast, hosted by our friend Jon Radulovic, with Jennifer Kennedy and Judi Lund Person providing information about hospice regulatory and compliance matters.   Visit the Heart of Hospice website to read our weekly blog, and to discover resources about hospice, caregiving, self care, and advance care planning.
