Lunch and Learn with Pam Putney, Reimbursements and Contracts Specialist, Hospice of the Northwest, January 9, 2025, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM

It’s never easy to tell a loved one what your end of life wishes are. And it’s never easy for a child to bring up the subject of end of life with a parent.  This course will get you on the right path to accomplish those sometimes difficult conversations.  You will be provided with the tools to help determine just exactly what you want as well as what you don’t want.  In this session you will learn how to start that “Courageous Conversation” whether you are the adult or the child.

Lunch and Learn, Pam Putney, Reimbursements and Contract Specialist, Hospice of the Northwest, February 13, 2025, from 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM,

There comes a time in everyone’s life that our treatment options for chronic and acute illnesses are not going to provide the cure we are looking for. When that time comes, you may want to consider hospice and comfort care over treatment. Hospice of the Northwest has been serving hospice patients for several decades.  This presentation focuses on the myths and realities of hospice care and why enrolling in hospice early in the process provides the patient and their circle of support a wonderful experience.
