Update on 3 nonprofit hospices impacted by Helene

Update on 3 nonprofit hospices impacted by Helene 
Hospice & Palliative Care Today; Chris Comeaux with Cordt Kassner and Joy Berger; 10/17/24
Chris Comeaux shared updates on hospices impacted by the recent natural disaster. While no patients or staff were lost, some completely lost their homes or experienced significant property damage.  The final loss of life remains uncertain due to unaccounted people. Hospices nationally have shown unity in supporting local counterparts through financial aid, supplies, and volunteer efforts coordinated by many nonprofits. Certain areas may lack electricity until March. Hospices face challenges like displaced skilled nursing facilities, but resources are being mobilized. Chris announced a tabletop discussion in November to learn from this experience and highlighted the need for continued patient monitoring, especially in evacuation zones.
