NHPCO communications staff worked with Jeanette Pavini, a reporter for the Hallmark Channel doing a piece for their program “Family and Home.” The reporter had a very positive hospice experience with her father in the San Francisco area. This is reflected in the positive tone of the segment that was broadcast on July 27 and is available on the Hallmark Channel’s website.
Through the discussion on the program, the two program hosts, Mark Steines and Cristina Ferrare, both shared positive hospice experiences they had with their family.
“This program is widely seen by many people we are trying to reach, particularly women who are of the Baby Boomer generation who we know are caregivers and need information about hospice and palliative care for their loved ones and even themselves,” said NHPCO’s Anita Brikman, senior vice president, strategic communications.
Resources from NHPCO’s Moment of Life campaign as well as the “Find a Hospice” search tool have been provided as recommended resources by the Hallmark Channel.
