End of Life conversations can be difficult to have. Let me help. Have you ever experienced having a conversation about hospice? OR Did you ever even think about how you would even start having a conversation regarding hospice services for a loved one? Here's some insight, Ways to start the conversation about end-of-life preferences that have been shown to help guide decision making and conversation. Hospice Foundation of America is actively involved in national research surrounding some of these methods. Watch the PBS Frontline documentary Being Mortal with loved ones.

Really enjoyed a great session this morning with my teammates, Cynthia Hayes, Marcy Pett, PMP, CSM (LION), and Sandra Gurley, as Sheila Heen shared great wisdom from her book, Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most. A big thank you to North Point Community Church and Jackson Healthcare for hosting and sponsoring the event. When it comes to gauging the quality of our conversations, two questions are key: 1. What are we talking about? Are we actually talking about the “real issues”? And if so, what are the real issues from each point of view? 2. How are we talking about it? Are we talking about the issues in a way that will maintain and strengthen relationships or will damage our ability to work or live together?

When these three get together, great things happen. Such an honor to work with these women who are at the forefront of our companies national account team. Not only are they making strides and how TPAs and employers see our company, they’ve also helped with the tremendous growth we’ve experienced so early in 2024. #CareManagement #Healthcare #Management #HumanResources #employeebenefits

Need a recipe to get 50 Veterans and Stakeholders to spend a couple of hours in your clinic, twice a month? Read on. Start by dropping hints to your Veterans and Stakeholder engagements that something fun and exciting is on the way. Allow this to simmer for about a month, stirring the pot occasionally with a snippet of info or a picture or two. Careful not to overdo it. When the batter is warm and begins to rise, enlist a few other “cooks” to help with the plan. And just before they storm the doors for more info, send a flyer announcing the event. Now sit back, enjoy the book in the comfort of your home, and come to the clinic prepared to have fun, meet new people, and share your experiences with the book. Our Community Outreach team in Salt Lake City (Sarah Hallen, Andrea Westergard) partnered with Kimber Parry (Rural Health) to create a truly amazing event. The St. George VA Clinic Book Club. The books came in today (50 regular and 10 Large Print). Starting in August we will read, “The Book Thief”, by Markus Zusak. I can honestly say this book is in the top 5% of my reads over the last decade (and the movie isn’t bad, either). Reading a book and sharing in a communal setting is healthcare. It’s refreshing. It’s entertaining. And it doesn’t cost a lot of time or effort. A Book Club can bring your Veterans together in a powerful demonstration of what it means to be a community. That’s right. We’re changing the face of healthcare. One thriller at a time.
