🗣 Dr. Michael Madison led an engaged session to #hospice and #palliative teams on how they can scale better outcomes in a #valuebasedcare world, especially when it comes to demonstrating and measuring value related to #advancecareplanning #goalsofcare and #seriousillness conversations. 🙏 We are grateful to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization for the opportunity to meet and speak with #ALC2024 attendees on how to better the #patient experience by enabling #autonomy for people at end-of-life.

🩺 One of our partners, Dr. Bob Uslander, Co-Founder of Empowered Endings, recently published an article for his Psychology Today Series that draws from over three decades of medical experience. He shares a compelling truth: advance directives are one of the most profound gifts we can give our loved ones.  👀 Having witnessed both the peace that comes when families have clear guidance, and the devastating uncertainty when they don't, he reveals a startling statistic: loved ones incorrectly guess End of Life Care preferences one-third of the time. 📖 Read more on Bob's insights around #advancecareplanning: https://lnkd.in/gmyNzw87

Next Tuesday, a group of passionate professionals will dine together to discuss meaningful tactics to support serious illness and goals of care conversations and present effective #advancecareplanning strategies. Hosted by the Los Angeles Regional Chapter of Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association. Registration information in below graphic.

🤝 We are proud to be a sponsor of the 49th Annual Fall Aging Conference in Minnesota. This year’s program is packed with insightful sessions that delve deep into the theme of “Dementia Dialogue: Exploring Risks, Preserving Dignity.” Together, we can enhance the quality of care for those affected by dementia and make a meaningful difference in their lives. #advancedirectives are a strong pillar for this conversation and where Thanacare can help enhance the care circle experience.

Today and tomorrow we are at the St. Louis County, MN Health and Human Service Conference on Oct 9th and 10th in gorgeous Duluth, MN. 2,500 attendees registered for the 42nd year and this year’s theme is “Choosing Hope” and its positive impact on the well-being of individuals, families, the people we serve and our communities. This of course includes our health and how choosing hope affects our health.

Your emotional well-being matters. End-of-life planning isn't just about logistics; it's about finding peace. Surround yourself with people who bring you comfort—family, friends, or counselors. Consider professional emotional support to help navigate this journey. #empoweredendings #endoflifecare #humanizinghealthcare #healthcare #healthandwellness #empoweredendingscommunity #deathwithdignity #supportgroup #griefsupport

We're pleased to partner with Empowered Endings to support their innovative approach to transforming the way we think about and approach the final chapters of life. Those who are experiencing that transition, the people who love them, and the providers who serve them, deserve to be informed and supported throughout the journey. Dr. Bob Uslander and Elizabeth Uslander, MSW MTS have built an incredible community that connects, educates, and advocates on behalf of the patients, their families, and the professionals supporting them, in support of the movement to transform Palliative, End of Life, and Grief Care for all. We share their goal to rewrite the tragic narratives associated with dying and grieving throughout society—from healthcare systems to politics to personal beliefs–and ensure that patients and their loved ones always have access to an Empowered End of Life Experience™ in which their decisions and dignity are honored.
