Over the next 2 weeks, crews will be doing a leaf collection test run in select areas to test equipment functionality. This is not the official leaf pickup. A second, formal pass will follow later to collect leaves properly. The official leaf collection programs begins November 10. Thank you for your patience while we fine-tune the process.
Hospice and Palliative care are types of health care that focus on the palliation of a terminally ill patient’s pain and symptoms and attending to their emotional and spiritual needs at the end of life, providing an alternative to therapies focused on life-prolonging measures that may be difficult, likely to cause more symptoms, or are not aligned with a person’s goals. The hope is to increase awareness and knowledge of hospice and palliative care and demystify misconceptions surrounding this program helping individuals understand its purpose and benefits. Join Kate Francis APRN, MSN, FNP and Holly Zambrello, RN, Community Liaison, as they discuss hospice and palliative care principles including pain and symptom management, communication, emotional support, and advanced care planning. They will also offer a range of resources including informational material, online tools, and support networks.
