ELNEC-Core at DLSHSI (August 17-18, 2017)

A great wave in Philippine palliative health care is growing, with the DOH administrative policy and other exciting developments taking shape. We were so glad to have over fifty participants join us for our End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium – Core Course last August 17 & 18. More people need to know how much comfort and peace palliative care offers those with declining health. 

A big thank you again to our partners at the De La Salle Health Sciences Institute & College of Nursing for their invaluable help during this two-day course.

Honoring through Remembering

Embracing grief care and as essential aspect of Palliative and Hospice Care ,The Ruth Foundation marked their first event sponsorship – “Honoring Through Remembering”, held a Asian Hospital and Medical Center in partnership with the Supportive and Home Care Unit-Department of Occupational and Family Medicine. The event was attended by families whose recently experienced the passing away of a loved-one and was graced by inspirational guest speaker Ms. Cathy Babao Guballa– author and family /grief counselor who shared her own journey through grief, echoing the message that one should not face this journey alone. All those present took part in a simple but meaning sunset ritual of remembrance though the releasing of balloons on which were tied messages of honoring to their loved-one who had passed on.
