The Power of Words: Using Our Voices for Good
2022-03-06 12:00 - 13:00
“The Power of Words: Using Our Voices for Good“
Naomi Fisher

We live in a world inundated with others’ voices – media messaging, social networking, political lies. How can we make our own voices heard? Can our voices possibly make a difference? In the immortal words of Margaret Mead: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

Helping Instead of Hurting: Palliative Care
2022-02-27 12:00 - 13:00
“Helping Instead of Hurting: How Palliative Care Can Increase Quality of Life and Reduce Suffering of Those Living with Chronic Conditions” – Jacqueline DeVaney, Family Nurse Practitioner. Palliative care is a branch of healthcare that is not well known or understood, even amongst many health care providers and workers. However, the need for it grows especially as COVID strains healthcare staffing and resources, and has potentially life-long consequences for many who have suffered from COVID. Jacqueline DeVaney, FNP, will share how palliative care focuses on individuals and their family members to enhance quality of life, puts their needs and goals at the center of their healthcare team, reduces healthcare costs, and helps to avoid the inadvertent harms that sometimes occur due to common western healthcare practices.
