2009 LIVING WITH GRIEF TELECONFERENCE 

16th Annual National HFA [Hospice Foundation of America] Teleconference

"Diversity and End-of-Life Care"
Wednesday, April 29, 2009, 1:30 - 4:00 p.m. ET


HFA's 2009 Teleconference will examine how diversity influences end-of-life decision making and the impact that culture has at the time of death and during bereavement. One of the goals of the teleconference is to increase sensitivity by helping professionals acknowledge how their own cultural values and assumptions influence the delivery of care.

The program will include a special examination of hospice care and diversity, including how hospices are reaching out to diverse groups and incorporating traditional practices and alternative therapies. This program will also discuss the challenges that may occur when culture considerations may cause ethical concerns or moral distress.
