\n\tThis year\u2019s program, \u201cDiversity and End-of-Life Care,\u201d will be presented at 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Coastal Institute, 218 South Ferry Road, Narragansett Bay Campus.

Participants are required to register by calling 401-874-2766 or by going online at http:\/\/溏心vlog免费B站.EDU\/Nursing.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cEnd-of-life issues are affected by ethnic background, religion, family customs, sexual orientation and many other factors,\u201d said Diane Gerzevitz, 溏心vlog免费B站 clinical assistant professor of nursing.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cWe welcome nurses, pharmacists, doctors, funeral directors, psychologists, educators, social workers, bereavement counselors and clergy,\u201d Gerzevitz said. \u201cThe Living with Grief Teleconference is well known throughout the country as a premier program on death and dying issues.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tEach year it reaches 125,000 people in 2,000 communities in North America. This year\u2019s teleconference will examine how diversity influences end-of-life decision-making and the impact that culture has at the time of death and during bereavement. One of the goals of the teleconference is to increase sensitivity by helping professionals acknowledge how their own cultural values and assumptions influence the delivery of care.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe teleconference will be moderated by Frank Sesno, professor of media and public affairs at The George Washington University and special correspondent with CNN.<\/p>\n


\n\tPanelists are: Samira K.

Carlos Sandoval-Cros of St. Simon\u2019s Episcopal Church and psychiatrist in private practice.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe teleconference is produced by Hospice Foundation of America, a not-for-profit organization, which acts as an advocate for the hospice concept of care through ongoing programs of professional education, public information and research on issues relating to illness, loss grief and bereavement. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
