SOCIAL WORK EDUCATION
Our recent seminar designed to provide palliative care, hospice, and medical social workers with the information and skills to work effectively in end-of-life care was so well received in the two locations in which it was offered that we are considering presenting it at two more locations later this year. Please watch for future announcements. Both of the speakers who were evaluated so highly by attendees will be at our annual conference in May, so try to join us in Richmond.
