Veterans and Palliative Care

 Join Us for a Free Public Listening Session

May 16th—10:00AM to 12:00PM

Viles Estate, 70 Stone St., Augusta 

Also Available on Zoom

Breakfast Nibbles Provided

Veterans deserve dignity, respect and comfort in every stage of life. Palliative care provides specialized medical support that enhances quality of life, manages pain, and supports emotional and spiritual well-being for veterans and their families.

Do you have symptoms that make it difficult to be as active as you would like to be, or impact your quality of life?

Do you, or someone close to you, need help with:

  • Knowing what to expect
  • Knowing what programs and resources are available
  • Making medical decisions about treatment choices/options
  • Matching your goals and values to your medical care
  • Understanding the pros and cons (benefits/burdens) of treatments (e.g., dialysis, additional cancer treatments, surgery, etc.)
  • Spiritual or religious support
  • Talking with your family about your illness and what is important to you

During our time together, we will hear about the challenges our veterans with chronic or serious illness experience. We will discuss access to services, information about palliative care  services, and challenges patients and families face surrounding complex and serious illness of a loved one.

Living with Complex and Serious Illness in Washington County: A Listening Session

A collaboration made possible by The Connection Initiative, the Community
Caring Collaborative and the Maine Hospice Council

May 15th 10:30AM—1:30PM
University of Maine Machias

Lunch Provided

 

We know that health care discussions with friends,

family members and medical teams can be difficult, often confusing and frustrating.

A "listening session" is a gathering where participants are invited to share their thoughts, experiences, and perspectives on a particular topic, with the primary focus being on actively listening to what   individuals have to say, rather than presenting arguments or  opinions; it's essentially a forum for collecting feedback and understanding different viewpoints. 

During our time together, we will discuss access to services, information about palliative care services, and challenges families face surrounding complex and serious illness of a loved one.

All are welcome. We ask that you

register so we know attendance

numbers for set up

and food prep.
