The need to know about hospice. For families, the words hospice care are often met with a wave of uncertainty. As a result, we begin to ask ourselves the difficult questions. Am I giving up on my loved one? Is there more I can do? What are my alternatives? To demystify the road ahead, our team at Ethos Hospice has assembled a guide of what to expect with hospice care. https://nuvi.me/w8c4iy

So often facilities, physicians offices and family members in our community ask the question… when is the right time to ask for help, or refer their patient or resident? Now. Now is the time. Share with us the story, your story, their story… we are here to listen to your concerns and help guide you. Together, we will work thru the scenario, to either assist you in gaining valuable information on how the hospice benefit can help the person you’re concerned about when the time comes or… the time IS now and we can help them gain a highly skilled, empathetic, compassionate team to extend their circle of resources for their end of life care. Hospice isn’t always about minutes hours or days… hospice when established early is about extending value to those hours, minutes, days and often many months. Call us anytime for questions about hospice care. Our care center is available 24/7. Know… Questions aren’t a commitment, but they are the first step to securing comfort when the time comes to make one. 💚

Happy Memorial Day! As we honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, let's take a moment to reflect on our core values - what is a core value that guides your actions? One of the core values that has profoundly shaped my personal and professional journey is service. This unwavering commitment to serving others is the reason I chose to become a physician, and more specifically, an emergency physician. I wanted to be there for anyone, in any situation, providing care and support when it was needed most. With The Doctor Investor my goal is to serve the physician community in a different but equally impactful way. By providing education, raising awareness, and offering access to the world of investing, I aim to empower physicians with the knowledge and tools they need to secure their financial futures. Core values provide clarity and direction. What is a core value for you or your organization?

Asking for support is a courageous choice that propels you toward a life enriched with care, compassion, and joyful moments. Let's walk this path together. Learn more about our compassionate caregivers at https://lnkd.in/g27VeMbv.

EP #8 Compassionate Conversations - Hospice of Rockingham County - October 2023 - https://lnkd.in/gFK2r4VB In Hospice of Rockingham County's Compassionate Conversations show - Episode #8, Lynn Flanagan, CEO, Hospice of Rockingham County talks with Teressa Townes, CLE, SHRM-CP, Director of Human Resources. For more than 35 years Hospice of Rockingham County has had the privilege of serving, supporting, and caring for patients in Rockingham and surrounding counties who are facing a life-limiting illness. In addition to providing quality end-of-life care (hospice), we also provide palliative care. We refer to that as Serious Illness Care. Our mission is to be a supportive presence for life's journey. Whether it is hospice care or serious illness care, our team recognizes that everyone's journey is different and requires a different level of support. You may not even realize what kind of support you need until you are in the middle of a difficult time. Our healthcare system can be difficult to navigate, medical terminology can be confusing; there is so much information to process. During this time, a family often has hard conversations that can evoke strong emotions. Our goal for this podcast that we are calling Compassionate Conversations is that it will serve as another layer of support for the community that we serve. That support may come in the form of education. It may come in the form of truth-telling to battle some of the misconceptions that exist around end-of-life care. We hope to provide a space to have the hard conversations and answer the difficult questions with compassion, dignity, and respect. ###

End of life decisions can be incredibly difficult for patients, though we can help patients make these decisions and share their wishes with family and their care team. This webinar should be helpful for health care staff who wish to learn how to guide patients though the end of life decision-making process.

Have you ever wondered why it's so hard for nonprofit organizations to work together, share resources, and form partnerships? A recent survey asked this very question, and the responses were quite insightful. Some of the reasons given were differing missions and goals, limited resources, communication challenges, lack of trust, and power imbalances. It's a bit ironic, isn't it? In an industry dedicated to helping others, organizations often find themselves guarding their own little slice of the pie. But here's the good news – it doesn't always have to be that way! There are many wonderful organizations out there that are willing to lend a hand, share their knowledge, and offer assistance. And for that, we are truly grateful. Speaking of which, there's one local organization that deserves a special shout-out: Thrive Alabama. Led by the amazing Mary Elizabeth Marr, this organization has been an absolute gem. While their mission aligns with ours to some extent, they have gone above and beyond to support us with their kindness and expertise. So, if you're a Huntsville resident in need of medical care and don't know where to turn, Thrive Alabama is the place to start your search. Here's a glimpse into their mission and values: https://lnkd.in/gxbEqVev Let's spread the word about Thrive Alabama and organizations like them that truly embody the spirit of collaboration and compassion.
