Hospice Foundation of America’s 16th annual Living with Grief teleconference, “Diversity and End-of-Life Care” will be held 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 29. Registration begins at 1 p.m.
This teleconference will be broadcast via satellite to the hospital auditorium at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

The teleconference will examine how diversity influences end-of-life decision making and the effect that culture has at the time of death and during bereavement. The program will also discuss the challenges that may occur when cultural considerations cause ethical concerns or moral distress.
