The MyHospice Ambassadors Program is a volunteer advocacy program. It is for individuals who have the capacity and initiative to lead, network, and take action on hospice and palliative care advocacy efforts. The program’s advocacy efforts are supported and guided by the Alliance’s advocacy team and policy priorities.

MyHospice Ambassadors champion the policies most important to hospice and palliative care organizations, providers, and patients in their area. They become an advocacy asset in their community and organization.

What makes the MyHospice Ambassador Program unique?
We recruit, educate, and empower advocates from across the broad hospice and palliative care community. From CEOs and state association leaders to individual professionals like physicians and nurses to volunteers, our program has representation from every form of hospice, big or small, nonprofit or for. Through our Ambassador Program, we are providing volunteers with vital advocacy skills, learning and networking opportunities, and up-to-date information to cultivate a united voice for our cause.

Why

The Alliance’s ability to advance priorities in Congress depends on a strong grassroots presence. While membership supports lobbying, legislative tracking, and monitoring regulatory activity, it is just as important to raise the voices of local advocates. Advocacy ambassadors bridge the gap between elected officials and the real, on-the-ground perspectives of the people they represent.
As a MyHospice Ambassador, you will join a network of impactful advocates. You will deliver important stories and issues of hospice and palliative care to your elected officials. By growing relationships, your organization and the community you serve will be heard by decisionmakers. By activating others, you will make our voice stronger.
