September Lunch and Learn Announced: Spiritual Comfort at the End of Life

Lunch and Learn_graphicHospice of the Red River Valley invites health care professionals to its September Lunch and Learn on Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2015, from noon-1 p.m.

Lauryl Ivers, chaplain, with Hospice of the Red River Valley, will present “Spiritual Comfort at the End of Life.”

In this session, participants will learn how to differentiate between spirituality and religion and identify ways to provide a non-anxious presence. The session will also help participants recognize symptoms of spiritual pain.

*CEs for nurses available only for this presentation.
