Presented by

The Hospice EducationCollaborative of Rockford

Program DescriptionEach year the Hospice EducationCollaborative of Rockford strives to developa fresh innovative program that educates andmotivates the attendees. Previous conferenceshave focused on topics such as the basics of hospice, the myths of hospice, the holisticapproach to hospice patients and eventhe importance of providing humor whendelivering end-of-life care.

 This year our eighth conference focuses onculture and communication. As healthcareproviders, we all know it’s the little things thatcan make all the difference to a patient or theirloved ones. Sometimes, however, we stumble

 with a tiny misstep and unknowingly dissolvethe trust we’ve established.

Often, it’s our understanding or lack of understanding of cultural differences andcomfort levels that enhance or diminish ourrelationships with our patients and theircaregivers. This workshop will provideinformation on the differing cultures of peoplein northern Illinois and ways to approach

our patients and their loved ones in orderto enhance our relationships and avoid themissteps.

1. Recognize the impact of cultural diversity in end-of-life care

missteps as you provide end-of-life care
