Aging in Community-Three Rivers Presents

Understanding Hospice: A Round Table Conversation

St. Anthony Retreat Center, Assembly Room

Aging in Community-Three Rivers is hosting a free round table conversation for those interested in deepening their understanding of specialized hospice care. We hope to dispel common myths surrounding this practice. Following the weekly Monday Senior Lunch, the dialog will begin at 1:00 PM in the St. Anthony Retreat Center Assembly Room and include professionals, volunteers, and family members who have experienced the benefits of hospice firsthand.

The session will be facilitated by Janna Brittain, a local resident with many years experience in hospice practice who will answer frequently asked questions in a nonjudgmental environment. Participants will learn how hospice enhances the quality of life at the end of life by providing compassionate, specialized care for patients while bringing comfort and support to their families.

Resources and free materials from professional hospice organizations will be available for distribution. If you are joining us for the $5 Senior Lunch, please call 559-561-4595 to make a reservation by September 13.
