Film & Discussion to Focus on End-of-Life Care

Samaritan Evergreen Hospice invites people with an interest in end-of-life care to attend a film screening and discussion on Tuesday, Nov. 19, from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Samaritan Center for Health Education in Newport.

Recognizing that caring for someone as they approach the end of their life is not the same as caring for someone who is going to get better, Barbara Karnes, RN, created the multi-award- winning educational film, “New Rules for End of Life Care.” It provides guidance on caring for a loved one who is at the end of their life, whether they are at home, in a nursing home or a hospital.

Everyone is invited to attend the screening to gain valuable information that will help them better understand the dying process and the stages of death. The film is 30 minutes in length and will be followed by a 30-minute discussion led by staff from Samaritan Evergreen Hospice.

Samaritan Center for Health Education is located at 740 SW Ninth St., directly west of Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital. To reserve a seat, send an email to Kelly at [email protected].
