Prioritizing Communication in the Workplace: 5 Questions to Help Create a More Civil 2018

National Hospice and Palliative Care Month: Divide and Conquer
by Christian Sinclair (@ctsinclair)Now thatNational Hospice and Palliative Care Month (NHPCM) is in the books for 2017, December is a good time to reflect on what these awareness months can (and cannot) accomplish and how we can make a better strategy for the future. Awareness campaigns have blazed brightly through the bracelet and ribbon eras, and are firmly in the social media era with no signs of stopping (other than possibly fatigue from so much awareness about awareness campaigns.)No single group is technically is in charge of National Hospice and Palliative Care Month.
