Another great way that you can get involved in Hospice Advocacy is by taking part in our video advocacy campaign. There are two ways in which you can . The first is by uploading advocacy videos to NHPCO HAN YouTube. These videos can be about personal experiences with hospice, stories from patients and family members, and the importance of protecting hospice for now and generations to come. You can also take part in this campaign by contacting one of our staff members to ask for us to loan you a HD Flip Camcorder so that you can film right in the comfort of your home or hospice. We even pay for return shipping, so there is no cost for those that would like to participate.

To sign up to have a HD Flip camera sent to you, please contact advocacystories@nhpcohan.org.
