Cultural Considerations in Patient Care 10/7/20

Event Details

Who we are is a compilation of many things, including cultural and religious factors. These things become especially important at critical times in life, like health crises or the end of life. When caregivers are more aware, we can be more nurturing, responsive and caring to the whole person, beyond "symptoms". Come, learn and contribute to others' learning about how such things impact patients and families.

No fee to attend!

The CE fee for professionals is graciously being covered for attendees by Heartland Hospice.

Thank you Heartland Hospice and Ascension Cor Mariae for supporting Elderwerks Educational Services!

Pam Lojewski, MDiv
Spiritual Care Coordinator at Heartland Hospice
Rev. Pamela Lojewski is a Spiritual Care Coordinator who has worked with Heartland Hospice for 7 years. She previously served as Pastor to 2 ELCA Lutheran congregations in southwestern Wisconsin. She did some part time study and work as a chaplain at Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center in LaCrosse, WI as well. Her current role with hospice allows her to assist patients and families with cultural and spiritual needs related to end-of-life. Over the past 7 years she has encountered many different cultural and religious beliefs that our patients and families have, which has allowed her to expand her knowledge in cultural diversity. She has studied different cultural perceptions on death and dying to better prepare her for this role.

Heartland Hospice
Heartland Hospice provides care wherever you call home: in your house, a skilled nursing center, an assisted living facility or independent living facility. Our caregivers help create individualized care plans, set personal goals, and manage pain and symptoms. Every patient is different. With different challenges, different needs, different family and friends. So the care we give each patient is different.

We believe wholeheartedly in the power of the individual, the importance of relationships and the value of respect and dignity to everyone at every stage of life. Our goal is to create a positive difference every day, to make a personal connection and to create memorable moments that will enrich your life.
