Course Description:

We will debunk the myths that prevent patients from accessing this valuable resource. The philosophy of hospice is to empower patients and their family to take control of their end-of-life journey. Agreeing to hospice care doesn't mean you've given up; it means you care about quality of life. Hospice care focuses on the management of pain and symptoms so the patient can be as comfortable as possible.

In addition to care for the patient, we will discuss the importance and need to also care for the caregivers. Caregivers often need help along the journey as well. We will examine how the various roles of the hospice team meet the needs of the patient and caregivers.

We will explore how hospice brings quality of life to a life-limiting diagnosis - where patient, physician and the hospice team collaborate.
