Hospice and Palliative Care in Rural Montana – 9/19 – Missoula Public Library

September 19 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

Tuesday, September 19, 5:30 – 7 p.m.
Missoula Public Library, 4th Floor, Cooper Room
Free. Open to the public.
Join Skye McGinty, executive director of All Nations Health Center, and Melody Cunningham, MD, FAAHPM, to discuss hospice and palliative care in rural Montana and for Native communities. Access to hospice and palliative care can be challenging even in places with the most resources. The obstacles in a designated frontier state such as Montana, with an average of less than six people per square mile, are often magnified ― requiring more creative and thoughtful solutions to providing compassionate end-of-life care.

McGinty and Cunningham will cover a range of topics including access to telemedicine in rural areas, community caregivers who can assist with providing quality end-of-life care, and the challenges and desire for individuals who are dying to remain in their homes. All are welcome to learn, ask questions and offer creative perspectives on how to enhance our ability to provide care to all those who need it wherever they live.
