When you are faced with the possibility of hospice care, not only are you faced with life’s limitations and end, but also a lot of stressful questions. Whether you are a caregiver, loved one or patient, hospice care focuses on the quality of life rather than its length.
Join us for a free community discussion about “Hospice in Our Community.” Our panel includes a presentation by Jonna Goulding, MD, Director of Palliative and Spiritual Care at Central Vermont Medical Center, as well as other local providers, hospice volunteers and community members.
This is a forum designed to help guide, inform and support patients as well as their families regarding hospice care options.
The panel also includes:
Dawn Lefevre, RN, Hospice Nurse, Lamoille Home Health & Hospice
Phil Kiely, MD, Hospice & Palliative Medicine Specialist
Jennie Mathisen, Hospice Volunteer
Alden Launer, Chaplain, Copley Hospital
Laura Labow, NP, Oncology & Infusion, Copley Hospital
This forum is a presentation of Copley Hospital’s Ethics Committee. In healthcare settings, ethical questions arise when “the right thing to do” is unclear, or when people disagree about what is best for the patient. You can learn more about Copley's Ethics Committee and learn more abut this event online at copleyvt.org/hospice-in-our-community.
Although this is a free forum, attendees are encouraged to RSVP so that we main plan refreshments.
Join us in the Community Room at the Green Mountain Technology & Career Center in Hyde Park on October 10 at 6:30pm.
