End-of-Life Network News October 7, 2011 Local Events, Physician Resource, SFMS Member Events Network for End of Life Care, SFEOL 0 The San Francisco Bay Area Network for End of Life Care (SFEOL) celebrates its 13th year of monthly meetings that offer support, community, and education for those involved in delivering hospice and palliative care throughout the Bay Area. The coalition works to improve end-of-life care by increasing public awareness through education, by identifying and filling end-of-life needs in diverse communities, and by strengthening resources within our local providers (e.g., POLST implementation practices, caregiver support, etc). SFEOL began hosting monthly meeting at the SFMS office over a decade ago, and brings a wide range of clinicians and other professionals to lunch meetings for presentations and more. While no longer meeting at the SFMS, it continues and is a recommended resource for those working with patients in hospice and other such settings. Monthly meetings are free and open to the public (first Wednesday of each month from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm), and our membership includes a diverse array of physicians, nurses, social workers, mental health providers, chaplains, volunteers, and art/massage therapists all of whom serve in some capacity those in our Bay Area hospice and palliative care settings. For more information, please email coalition Chair, Nate Hinerman, PhD at nphinerman@usfca.edu or go to www.sfeol.org. Comments are closed.
