Improving Care for Veterans Registration

Hospice Foundation of America presents

Improving Care for Veterans Facing Illness and Death

Moderated by Frank Sesno, Director of the School of Media and Public Affairs at The George Washington University

HFA's Living with Grief Program, Improving Care for Veterans Facing Illness and Death, assists end-of-life care provider organizations and health and human services professionals in enhancing their sensitivities and understanding of veterans and to provide professionals with new interventions to better serve dying veterans and their families.  Attention is placed on veteran generations now aging and most likely to be seen in end-of-life care (WWII, Korean War, Vietnam).  The program also looks organizationally at military benefits and intersections with VA systems and will explore the traditions and sensitivities of grieving families and resources that can assist them. 

Panelists Include:

Scott T. Shreve, DO

Deborah Grassman, ARNP

Kenneth J. Doka, PhD, MDiv

Paul Tschudi, MA, EdS, LPC

Ryan Weller, MSW, LCSW
