Living with Grief: Coping with Public Tragedy
HFA's Year 2003 Initiative - read the news release
"When we select a topic for each year's teleconference and accompanying book, a key consideration is how we can help hospices broaden their community outreach. I believe that hospice has many contributions to make to a community, primarily as the basic resource for bereavement counseling, but also as a major influence in increasing patient autonomy in the health system.This year's topic, Living with Grief: Coping with Public Tragedy, also is designed to give local hospices an opportunity to make known their capabilities in helping their communities when terrible events occur."
--Jack D. Gordon, Chairman and CEO, HFA [Note: Mr. Gordon served as
Chairman and CEO of HFA until his death in 2005.]
