Innovative Bereavement Care Ideas With Rev. Nancy Faery, Ep. 068

Hospice agencies are having to get creative with their care during the pandemic.  Rev. Nancy Faery of Niagara Hospice describes the process she and her team used to create a virtual remembrance service to honor the patients the agency has served.  Nancy also shares the challenges and pitfalls of providing psychosocial and spiritual care remotely.  That means using technology for telemedicine, including using phone chats and Facetime.  Nancy encourages teams to ask for what they need and to be open-minded to change that equips us to provide quality care.
