Kate Cox Associate Director of THF speaking before a group who requested a general overview on hospice programs.
Are you interested in learning more about the Talbot Hospice Foundation and the services that are provided without charge to the community? We are currently booking our 2012 presentation calendar.
Our staff is available to speak and can tailor the presentation to meet your needs. We can speak to a group of 6 or 60! We speak to groups in a variety of locations, from churches, schools, in private homes, in public gathering places, wherever you may assemble. We can have a panel of volunteers speak about volunteering, or we can send our bereavement coordinator to speak about grief. We can speak about hospice in general, about Caregiving, or the Festival of Trees. Whatever it is that you want to know about hospice, we can accommodate with the hospice response.
Please call Peg Fitzgerald or Molly Kirsch at 410-822-6681. We will enthusiastically tailor a presentation to meet your specific interests.
