The Hospice Speakers Bureau
What is the Speakers Bureau?
Our Speakers Bureau is made up of staff and volunteers. Not only do these speakers believe in the concept of hospice, they know details about the organization and have answers to questions you might have. While an increasing number of patients and families seek hospice service, there are many who are unfamiliar with this special kind of care. Our speakers enjoy sharing the story of hospice; they want to dispel myths and want people to realize there are options when a life-threatening illness occurs.
