The Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce hosted the 20th annual Living with Grief program this week, presenting information to local veterans, medical providers and caregivers.
“It’s for community education and so people can understand the different issues surrounding the end of life,” said Joanne Ciampi, the hospice volunteer coordinator for Continuum Home Care and Hospice. “Each year the hospice has a different topic discussed, and this year its veterans. That’s important because military experience shapes their lives and affects how they approach healthcare and end of life matters.”
Wednesday’s event, which was sponsored by the Hospice Foundation of America, featured an informational DVD of panelists who discussed the military mindset, special needs in treating veterans at the end of life, ritual and bereavement care and forming collaborative partnerships to better serve veterans.
