AAHPM is inviting you to participate in an online Day of Action in support of the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act (PCHETA) to coincide with a Patient Quality of Life Coalition (PQLC) Lobby Day. We are seeking additional cosponsors for this bill as well as thanking current cosponsors for their support and encouraging action to move PCHETA forward. 

We are asking you to reach out to your Senators to let them know how important PCHETA is to your work. 

PCHETA would expand opportunities for interdisciplinary education and training in palliative care, including through new education centers and career incentive awards for physicians, nurses, physician assistants, social workers and other health professionals. The bill would also implement an awareness campaign, to inform patients and healthcare providers about the benefits of palliative care and hospice and the services available to support individuals with serious illness, as well as direct funding toward palliative care research to strengthen clinical practice and health care delivery.
