Palliative Care 101
Sunday, May 16, 3 p.m., Fellowship Hall
Presented by: David Nowels, MD and Jean S. Kutner, MD, MSPH
People facing serious or advanced illness often turn to their faith communities for support, seeking help with the challenges these experiences bring. However, most congregations do not have the resources, training, and support they need to care for people during these important times.
Learn what palliative care is, how it relates to hospice care, and what resources are available in and around Denver.
This workshop is for all age groups as serious illness can occur at any age across the lifespan. What would you do? Who would you call?
Find out more about how palliative and supportive care services can help those with serious illness live with less pain, improve quality of life, and coordinate healthcare.
