The Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act (PCHETA, S. 2243) was introduced in the Senate for the 118th Congress on July 11, 2023. NBTS invites you to sign our action alert to build co-sponsors for PCHETA and thank Senators who are already co-sponsors. Taking action can help position PCHETA with strong bipartisan support when Congress returns from the August recess.
Studies have shown that palliative care improves quality of life, enhances patient and family satisfaction with care, and controls costs for the rapidly expanding population of individuals with serious illnesses or multiple chronic conditions. We need our Senators' support to pass PCHETA and improve access to palliative and hospice care for patients with brain tumors and their families.
PCHETA will help ensure that patients and providers understand the benefits of palliative care and that an adequate, appropriately trained workforce is available to provide the care required by patients facing a serious and complex chronic illness, including brain tumors. Contact your Senators today and urge them to cosponsor S. 2243!
