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.
