Blue Water Hospice Invites Medical Providers, General Public to Hospice Education Event

Hospice has proven to be an invaluable service for families caring for loved ones who are nearing the end of their lives. A hospice education event is being offered to both medical providers and the general public on March 23rd at 5:30 p.m. at the Blue Water Convention Center.

The hospice education event is sponsored by the Visiting Nurse Association and Blue Water Hospice and features Medical Director Dr. Doru Bali and Associate Medical Director Dr. Candace Kimpson.

Hospice empowers patients and their families to take control of their end-of-life journey. The panel discussion will explain how hospice is managed and remind the community that agreeing to hospice is more about quality of life than “giving up”. Hospice care includes pain management and comfort measures.

The discussion will explore the collaboration between patients, physicians, and the hospice team.

Attending the event costs $35 which includes dinner. Reservations are required. More information can be found at the link below.
