NHPCO Welcomes Enclara Pharmacia as Platinum Sponsor for National Leadership Conference

Alexandria, Va, March 28, 2018 -- The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization is pleased to announce Enclara Pharmacia as the Platinum Level Sponsor for its upcoming Management and Leadership Conference & Advocacy Intensive, to be held at the Washington Hilton in the nation’s capital. MLC will be April 23 – 24 and the Advocacy Intensive will be April 25.

“This conference brings together many leaders and senior staff from hospice and palliative care programs across the country to focus on excellence, advocacy and networking,” said Edo Banach, NHPCO president and CEO. “The conference exhibit hall is a particularly valuable offering for these decision makers, giving them time to network with vendors, suppliers and other companies that offer innovative services and products for our field. We thank Enclara Pharmacia for its generous support to our conference.”

The opening of the exhibit hall on April 23 will be a MLC highlight featuring a festive reception sponsored by Enclara Pharmacia that will add a note of celebration to the entire conference.

“Enclara has been a proud partner and supporter of the NHPCO for many years and we’re excited to continue that role at the 2018 Management and Leadership Conference,” said Andy Horowitz, CEO, Enclara Pharmacia. “Our engagement with the NHPCO, and the larger hospice community, extends beyond the exhibit floor to highlight emerging healthcare trends through business summits, to promote clinical excellence through education, and to support legislative efforts aimed at improving accessibility to hospice and palliative care services. We look forward to our continued partnership and a great conference.”

Enclara will maintain two locations on the exhibit floor to demonstrate not only its core capabilities as a PBM, but also its latest version of E3 Mobile™, Enclara’s centralized patient management hub that streamlines ordering, fulfillment, and management for patient medications, DME, and medical supplies.

New this year, NHPCO is bringing two premiere events together as the Hospice Action Network’s annual Advocacy Intensive joins the Management and Leadership Conference. Recent Advocacy Intensives have been held during the summer but NHPCO and HAN are maximizing the voice of hospice leaders by incorporating a day of advocacy with visits to Capitol Hill on April 25.  Support from the Platinum Sponsor, Enclara Pharmacia, helps make this important event possible.

2018 will continue to be a pivotal time for the future of hospice and palliative care, as well as health care in general. Legislators continue to grapple with health care, regulators are focused on mandates to innovate and to integrate quality metrics, and providers strive to maximize available resources – all with the goal of providing the highest quality care possible.

Online registration for the 2018 MLC & Advocacy Intensive is available through April 2.  Onsite registration will be available at the Washington Hilton beginning Sunday, April 22 at the NHPCO conference desk.
