Hospice care info event set
DANVILLE - Geisinger Hospice is hosting a free informational event about hospice care at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Henry Hood Center for Health Research on the campus of Geisinger Medical Center.
There are many misconceptions about hospice. Hospice care assists patients when there is no medical cure, offering care, comfort and support for people with life-limiting conditions, as well as their families.
The event will also teach attendees how they can become hospice volunteers.
To register for this free event or for more information, contact Jane Brockman, MSW, at 214-5488 or jkbrockman@geisinger.edu.
