Nelson & District Hospice Society produces a newsletter for our members, community partners, volunteers and the general public on a semi-annual basis. Highlights from our current newsletter are regularly featured here.
Our 25th Anniversary!
Serving Nelson, Kaslo and the East Shore of Kootenay Lake, the Society is celebrating our 25th year with two special events!
End of Life Care
A free community education event at the Oxygen Centre with guest storyteller Ray Stothers and local nurse-counselor Rivkah Moore who specializes in hospice care. April 15th 6-8PM.
During her presentation, Rivkah will decipher the jargon and open the door to an exploration of the path we all eventually take - offering a glimpse into the very complex yet ordinary act of dying.
Living with Our Dying
In the Hume Room at the Hume Hotel, May 12th 6-8PM
This year's topic "Dying at Home" will feature a guest panel speaking from both a personal and professional point of view about the myths, challenges and opportunities around supporting someone who wants to die at home.
