May 4 to 10 is National Hospice Palliative Care Week and the Central Okanagan Hospice Association (COHA) is honouring this time with a series of free events designed to educate, connect, and support those navigating serious illness, caregiving, or grief.
COHA will start the week with two free community information sessions titled Understanding Hospice Palliative Care in West 琉璃神社 and Lake Country, facilitated by COHA鈥檚 Community Services Coordinator, Cheryl Sewell.
According to COHA, these sessions will highlight the principles and values behind hospice palliative care, how to navigate the care options in the Central Okanagan, explore the roles and relationships within the circle of care, and how COHA鈥檚 holistic programs and services can provide comfort, dignity, and quality of life for individuals and families.
Both sessions are free to attend and open to all.
