Cancer Connections November Meeting
Please join us on Wednesday November 16 at noon at Hope Lodge for a presentation by Susan Swirlbul of Caretenders Home Health Care. Susan will be talking about Caretenders' unique palliative care program for "homebound" geriatric patients. This program is ideal for patients experiencing a life threatening or life limiting illness. This is care that focuses on patient/family quality of life, pain and symptom relief, health care choices and the "whole" patient experience. Caretenders' palliative care program is not Hospice care, but could be an appropriate precursor.
We ask that you RVSP to Barb Thomas, bnbbarb@aol.com, no later than Monday November 14th. This helps to ensure that we will have enough food on hand for everyone attending.
