Support the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act
On July 23, 2018, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1676, the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act (PCHETA). Now, we need the Senate to act for PCHETA to become law! The legislation, S. 693, already enjoys bipartisan support in the Senate, where it was introduced by Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV). You can help bring PCHETA over the finish line!
- Request Senate Support of PCHETA - e-mail your U.S. senators and ask them to cosponsor PCHETA
- Tweet to Advance PCHETA - tweet your U.S. senators to urge action on PCHETA
