Event Description

December 31, 2012 Updated Dec 31, 2012 at 5:48 PM EDT

“How Hospice can Support Caregivers” will be presented on Wednesday, January 16 from 1-2:30 pm at the Broome West Senior Center, 2801 Wayne Street, Endwell.

This presentation will provide an overview of the Lourdes Hospice program with an emphasis on services available to the caregiver of the Hospice participant. Many people considering a Hospice program are unaware of the various types of support offered to the participant and the participant’s family; join us in order to distinguish between the myths and the facts of Hospice.

This program will be presented by Beth Hickey, Hospice/Lourdes at Home Nurse Navigator, and Sarah Hopkins, MSW, Bereavement Social Worker.

Pre-registration is required, as space is limited. Call Caregiver Services to reserve your spot: 778-2411.
