Bereavement Professional

Wednesday, May 10, 2017, Bereavement Professional Section Chat (2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET)

In May’s NCHPP Bereavement Professional section chat we discussed the many challenges for those who find themselves in a dual role within their company wearing multiple hats, such as: prioritizing job responsibilities, advocating for our patients and families, feeling competent in both roles, and the changing landscape of hospice care and company structure. We also addressed challenges for supervisors who manage multiple disciplines of the support team.
