Learn the basics of hospice care, eligibility requirements, how it’s paid for, how to get started, and the types of support it provides to patients and families from Hospice of the Northwest on Wednesday, November 29 at 1 pm. There are many myths and misconceptions about hospice, so the truth may surprise you!
In addition to the Hospice 101 presentation, an expert will be on hand at OSC to assist in filling out the advance care planning forms on Wednesday, November 29 from 9 am to 11 am. Advance care planning ensures your goals, values and preferences are known at the end of life or if communicating those desires due to illness or injury becomes impossible. All documents are provided free of charge, and all are welcome.
