Caring for veterans program is April 24




The Hospice Foundation of America’s 2013 Living With Grief program, Improving Care for Veterans Facing Illness and Death, will be held April 24 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Corcoran Classroom, lower level of the Sawtooth Mountain Clinic.

The presentation will help endof life care providers and health and human service professionals enhance their sensitivities and understanding of veterans and provide new interventions to better serve dying veterans and their families. Attention is placed on veteran generations now aging and most likely to be seen in end-of-life care (World War II, Korea, Vietnam). The program also explores the traditions and sensitivities of grieving families and resources that can assist them.

Continuing education hours are available. No registration is required. For more information, contact Kay Grindland at Care Partners, 387- 3788 or carepartners@boreal.org.
