November is National Hospice and Palliative Care month. Tri-Cities Chaplaincy is spending this month embracing what they call "courageous conversations".  Laurie Jackson, CEO of Tri-Cities Chaplaincy said this month they are encouraging the community to have conversations early about hospice and palliative care. Jackson said making these kind of decisions in crisis is challenging. "It always seems like its too soon to have 'that' conversation until it's too late," said Jackson. Although these "courageous conversations" can be difficult, Jackson said it is important to explore your options.
