“When cure is no longer possible, care is.” This saying is central to palliative and hospice care, and through our Leadership for HOPE Education Program, the foundation strives to spread this message to all who can make a difference. Last May 26, The Ruth Foundation held ELNEC-Core, the End-of-life Nursing Education Consortium Introductory Course to Palliative and Hospice Care. This was a one-day training held at St. Luke’s Medical City – Global City in BGC, Taguig. After the standard eight module lecture, our friends from Sonoran Winds Hospice gave a short talk on hospice care abroad based on their practices in California.
Over 50 participants filled the lecture room.
