VEN will be giving a presentation on end-of-life care planning at
Central Vermont Health Center January 27-28l. They plan to give the
presentation in St. Johnsbury this spring.
Combined Conference:
Hospice/ExCEL- June 2001 - Lake MoreyTim Quill, M.D., will speak
Thursday morning on non-abandonment. Dartmouth has agreed to pay half of
his fee, and Tim will talk to them about covering his expenses as well.
The remainder of the fee will be split between ExCEL and the Hospice
Council.
Resources:
Tim announced that he received a "no" letter from the Freeman Foundation
in response to the inquiry letter sent earlier this month. It was
suggested both that Freeman may have been at the end of a funding cycle,
and that personal contact through Dr. Reardon before the letter was sent
might have brought a better response. It was agreed that nothing more
could be done regarding a Freeman grant at this point. Tassi will try to
identify other funders who might be interested in the project.
VPQHC:
We'll be working with VPQHC on the quality page again this year.
