San Diego Hospice and The Institute for Palliative Medicine participates in outreach events on various topics surrounding caregiver resources, healthcare decision making, grief and loss, and end-of-life care issues
Activities include speaking engagements, community tours of our Inpatient Care Center (the only freestanding, specially licensed hospice-hospital in California), information booths at health or community fairs, and other community events. Members of our Speakers Bureau are available to present at local organizations (such as Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs) and businesses.
In addition, San Diego Hospice and The Institute for Palliative Medicine is a proud member of Combined Health Agencies (CHAD) and participates in the United Way/CHAD Speakers Bureau program as well.
By educating the public about the programs and services we offer, it is our hope that some day everyone who can benefit from our services will know about their options and have the ability to ask for our help, sooner rather than later.
Speakers Bureau topics include:
-
Promoting Quality of Life at Every Stage of Life: Information about resources for chronic or seriously ill patients
-
Healthcare Decision Making: Take Control of Your Healthcare Future
-
Other topics available
