Navigating the End of Life Experience Symposium, May 17th, Tukwila * Share this with your team!
You were loved and cared for at birth. Seems natural to do the same at the other end. This course will provide you with a roadmap to navigate the process of End-of-Life from diagnosis through death and beyond. Helping our residents and their families plan for their time where they labor through death can be a gift. We will spotlight preparation for death, actual death and post-death preparations. The Goal: A comfortable body, a peaceful passage, and a triumphant soul.
