Bereavement Professional

August 2016 Bereavement Professional Section Chat

We all know that volunteers are a vital part of the hospice team. They can also help bereavement in a multitude of ways and the Medicare COPs require that volunteer utilization. The chat discussed and explored various points to consider when choosing candidates to assist with the bereavement team to contribute to a stronger bereavement and volunteer partnership.

The chat was facilitated by Sarah Layton, MSW, LCSW, Heartland Home Health Care and Hospice, St. Louis, MO, NCHPP and co-facilitated by Diane Snyder Cowan, MA, MT-BC, CHPCA, Director of Bereavement Center, Hospice of the Western Reserve, Inc in Cleveland, OH.
