Event Details
Join Visiting Nurse Service & Hospice of Suffolk for a discussion of palliative care and hospice care. Palliative care helps to ease suffering from pain and stress associated with chronic illness. Hospice care, reserved for terminally ill patients for whom curative treatment is no longer available, emphasizes pain control, symptom management and supportive counseling. This discussion will be led by Andrea Cowles, Director of Intake & Service Development; Connie Alexander, Hospice Director of Patient Services; and Christine Calise, Assistant Director of Hospice Social Work.
