Clinicians and Professionals, Please Join Us For
IMPROVING CARE FOR VETERANS FACING ILLNESS AND DEATH
Regional Hospice and Home Care of Western CT, Inc. presents this HFA continuing
education program designed to assist end-of-life care provider organizations and
health and human service professionals in enhancing their sensitivities and
understanding of veterans, and to provide professionals with new interventions to
better serve dying veterans and their families.
Particular attention is placed on veteran generations now aging and most likely to be
seen in end-of-life care (WWII, Korean War, Vietnam). In addition to individual
interventions, the program also will look organizationally at military benefits and
intersections with VA systems. Finally, the program explores the traditions and
sensitivities of grieving families and resources that can assist them. The information
provided by the expert panel will be useful to clinicians, administrators, and other staff
working in hospice and palliative care, hospitals, long-term care and assisted living
facilities. Free of charge and open to public.
