NATIONAL HOSPICE & PALLIATIVE CARE ORGANIZATION (NHPCO) |
|
• |
The National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) identified a national need for multicultural end-of-life training among its 4,000 member organizations. Custom Health Consultants was invited to help develop a national toolbox. This included writing chapter content, forming a structure and editing many of the chapters.
This resource is now used by physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains, music therapists, executive directors, and hospice board members.
NHPCO later developed an on-line course to increase access & inclusion in end-of-life care. The breadth of inclusion includes race, ethnicity, religion & spirituality, culture, gender, physical abilities and beliefs. Barbara Greene, MPH, Custom Health Consultants, is a frequent instructor and facilitator. |

CAPI |
|
• |
What role do refugees & immigrants play in the leadership of our cities and state? Custom Health Consultants was invited to help CAPI develop a high-level summit that included resettlement agencies, foundations, health care, education, and other organizations.
The "sold out" event featured an exemplary panel of refugee & immigrant leaders - including a national writer, foundation executive director, community activist, international photographer, state legislator, and policy maker.
Several important outcomes occurred: CAPI increased its capacity to reach into the broader refugee & immigrant community as a catalyst for change. On a larger level, relationships between immigrant communities were developed and strengthened. |
