Combat soldiers have often seen the worst mankind has to offer. It changes them in fundamental ways, inflicting emotional, spiritual, social, and moral injuries that impact them throughout their lifetime, especially as they face death. Some veterans return from war bitter; some return enlightened; all return with lessons the rest of us need to know. Like an iridescent pearl awaiting discovery within ugly, crusty shells, wisdom patiently hides – yielding its treasures to those with the courage, honesty, and humility required to reckon with wartime traumas and fears. This is a presentation you won’t want to miss

Faced with unprecedented budget challenges and constraints while holding steadfast to the mission and vision that has sustained hospice pioneers for almost 40 years and pursuing opportunities to better meet community needs, it is time to “secure our roots” and “expand our reach.” Given the current policy, regulatory and financial environment, hospice and palliative care providers are challenged to overcome obstacles and simultaneously prepare for an evolving future.
