More
than 600 people from 19 countries gathered in support
of hospice and palliative care at The Art of
Caring National Hospice Gala in Washington,
DC on April 7. In addition to dinner,
dancing and a silent auction, the evening included
the National Hospice Foundation's annual leadership
awards.
The Most Reverend D. M. Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus,
was honored with the Humanitarian Leadership
Award in appreciation of extraordinary dedication
working on behalf of the needs of society's
most vulnerable populations. The Honorable Richard
Holbrooke, former United States
Ambassador to the United Nations, received the Global
Vision Award. In his current role as President
and CEO of the Global Business Coalition, the business
alliance against HIV/AIDS, Ambassador Holbrooke has
leveraged resources to improve care for people living
with the disease in sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.
Virginia Brown, of the National Hospice Regatta Alliance
and founder of the Hospice Cup, was presented with
the Philanthropic Inspiration Award for
her unparalleled commitment to creating ongoing support
for hospice in a unique way. The Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation, recipient of the Healthcare
Architect Award, was honored for its ongoing
support and funding which has made significant impact
in the delivery and understanding of end-of-life
care in the country.
A special Hospice Champion
Award was
also presented to Art Buchwald, American humorist
and Pulitzer Prize winning syndicated columnist. Buchwald
and his family were recognized for recent interviews
and articles telling the story of his current hospice
experience at the Washington Home and Hospice. His
in-depth and entertaining anecdotes about the realities
of his care have enhanced hospice awareness nationwide.
