Dying a Good Death - Care for the Body and Soul in the Hospice and Palliative Care Setting
In-Person Class | Available (Membership Required)
The body and the soul are inseparable until the moment of death. To have a "good death," both body and soul must be cared for well. How can the state of the soul affect the body and vice versa? What are some best practices for end-of-life care? In this seminar, a hospice chaplain and a palliative care family nurse practitioner will share their experiences and recommendations for making the end-of-life one of the best parts of life. There will be time set aside for audience questions and input.
