Response Requested from WiHPCA Member Agencies –Threats Against Hospice & Palliative Care Staff

In March 2022, Governor Tony Evers signed legislation into law that makes it a felony crime to intentionally cause bodily harm or threaten to cause bodily harm to an individual who works in a health care facility, a family member of such an individual, a health care provider, or a family member of such an individual.

Unfortunately, WiHPCA has heard of incidents occurring in the state, and a need for advocacy to protect our workers.  With this in mind, we request that WIHPCA member agencies complete a brief survey (link) to collect more information.

WiHPCA would greatly appreciate it if you could complete this brief survey by Monday, September 15. Please make sure that any data that you provide to WiHPCA is compliant with the federal HIPAA privacy law.
