Program Description
A significant portion of our profession is being with individuals and families as they or their loved ones are facing the last days/weeks of their lives. With the use of articles from the November-December 2017 issue of CHA Health Progress that focused on end-of-life issues, we will devote the day to examine and reflect on our ministry with people at end-of-life. Participants are encouraged to read these articles prior to the gathering. They can be accessed at:
https://www.chausa.org/publications/health-progress/issues/november-december-2017.
The first session will use the Health Progress Reflection Guide on the “Holding Life and Death in Dynamic Tension,” by Daniel P. Sulmasy, MD, PhD. This will help us to reflect on our ministry, as well as to consider how we might use this guide with staff.
The other sessions will focus on the following issues, based on our reading of the articles and own experience:
