HOSPICE: Myths and Facts
with an Experienced Hospice Nurse and a Social Worker
Thursday, February 15, 2:30 pm–3:45 pm
Join us for a conversation about the most common misconceptions about hospice care. Find out who qualifies for hospice, the best time to enter hospice and what hospice care consists of for patients dealing with chronic disease. This presentation can help you make better care decisions for yourself or loved one.
This presentation will be co-led by an interdisciplinary team from JSSA hospice:
Maria Kaplan, RN, BSN, CHPN, a certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse, will address hospice philosophy, patient eligibility criteria, the referral process, scope of services, insurance coverage, and more.
Bridget Burke, LMSW, APHSW-C, a hospice social worker and bereavement counselor, will address emotional, social, and cultural support available for hospice patients and their families.
This program is made possible by an Advances in Aging grant offered by Suburban Hospital to Little Falls Village. Registration is through Little Falls Village.
