Coping with Public Tragedy Resources
"When we select a topic for each year's teleconference and accompanying book, a key consideration is how we can help hospices broaden their community outreach. I believe that hospice has many contributions to make to a community, primarily as the basic resource for bereavement counseling, but also as a major influence in increasing patient autonomy in the health system.This year's topic, Living with Grief: Coping with Public Tragedy, also is designed to give local hospices an opportunity to make known their capabilities in helping their communities when terrible events occur."
--Jack D. Gordon, Former Chairman and CEO, HFA, 2003
