2015 Annual Conference Materials Posted

The materials for the 2015 Annual Training Conference have been posted on the intranet.  To view or download, go the Training Library on the Training Units page and click on “2015 Annual Conference Materials.”  A hypertext link of all of the documents will open.  To see the materials organized by topic, click on @TABLEOFCONTENTS.htm.  A Table of Contents will open with hypertext links to all of the documents.

To avoid unnecessary waste, there will not be printed copies of the PowerPoint Presentations at the Conference.  (In years past we have thrown out hundreds of copies of unused materials).

PBS News Hour Report: A minority view on hospice and end of life care.

“Black seniors are more likely than whites and Latinos to forgo hospice care. Due to deeply felt religious beliefs and a long history of discrimination in the U.S., African-American patients are often reluctant to plan for the end of their lives, and more skeptical when doctors suggest stopping treatment. Special correspondent Sarah Varney reports on efforts to change some of those beliefs.”
