Upcoming Events

PALLIATIVE CARE: Brian Hunt, founder and director of the Department of Palliative Care at MedStar Montgomery General Hospital, will talk to us about palliative care, its philosophy, and how it works with both the individual and his or her physician to provide many comforting benefits. We will learn when palliative care is appropriate and how the individual may initiate this care. Palliative care and hospice care are often confused, so please come and learn from Brian about the very helpful services of his department.
When: Tuesday, May 21st at 2:00 PM
Where: Leisure World senior community in Silver Spring, MD
