Kick off National Hospice and Palliative Care Awareness Month this November by advocating in support of the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act ([PCHETA], S. 2243). PCHETA was reintroduced in the U.S. Senate for the 118th Congress on July 11, 2023, but we still need your help to build bipartisan support for the bill.
ONS member oncology nurse advocates were instrumental in securing the bill’s 14 original Senate cosponsors to support its reintroduction. Now, you and your chapter can help build bipartisan support for the bill by contacting you U.S. Senators and urging them to cosponsor PCHETA.
Send a pre-written email to your senator asking them to support this important legislation and advocate for cancer care.
Please speak out and speak up!
