Arbor Hospice Speakers Bureau Presentations for Your Group

The Arbor Hospice Speakers Bureau offers free, informative and engaging presentations about hospice and palliative care at faith-based communities, professional organizations and support groups.

No one said getting older was easy. There are many decisions that we have to face as we age, whether it’s making health care decisions or caring for an aging parent. It can be especially difficult for the “sandwich generation,” those who are caring for both young children and an aging parent.

Those times can be difficult and Arbor Hospice understands those decisions. Part of Arbor Hospice’s mission is to educate the community about end-of-life issues and the importance of advance directives.

Arbor Hospice participates in outreach events on various topics surrounding caregiver resources, healthcare decision making, end-of-life care issues, financial, legal and grief and loss of a loved one. The community outreach programs have a goal to bring awareness, support and knowledge to those caring for aging family members.
