Box 489 Albion, New York 14411 | 585-589-0809 News & Notes for our Families & Friends Fall 2014 & Palliative Care Celebration of National Hospice Month Dr. Christopher Kerr, key author of “Clinical Impact of a Home-Based Palliative Care Program: A Hospice – Private Payer Partnership” published this year in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management addressed a large group of community members gathered at the Hoag library Saturday afternoon, November 15th to celebrate National Hospice Month. Save these Dates! Spring Flower Bouquet Sale March 2nd – 6th Beat the Winter Blues Wine & Hors d'oeuvres Mingle Event at LynnOaken Farms – March 7th 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm Annual Golf Tournament at Hickory Ridge – July 29th Hospice of Orleans’ Board of Directors Sheila Myer, President John Girvin, Vice President Kim Hinkley, Esq., Treasurer Maura Pierce, Secretary Ada Grabowski, Vice Secretary Nancy Albanese Sanford Church, Esq. Mary Anne Fischer, Executive Director Jon Costello, Director Emeritus Roland Howell, Director Emeritus Mary Janet Sahukar, Dir. Emeritus Craig Lape Kathryn Wood, Ph.D. Don Algeo Patricia Eick Doug Miller Dr. Kerr, Chief Medical Officer for The Center for Hospice and Palliative Care in Buffalo, challenged his audience with these words: “We live in a death defying culture! We spend per capita more than any other country in the world yet people are not getting better service and die in hospitals when they’d rather be at home with their families!” He then made a strong case for hospice and palliative care as a way to ensure better services and reduce hospitalization. “Palliative care,” he explained, “focuses on relieving symptoms but not curing the disease. Palliative care focuses on improving comfort and quality of life while a person is seeking treatment for their advanced illness. Research shows that when symptoms are treated, people live longer. In-home nursing care makes the difference. Palliative care is an important part of the continuum of services provided by hospice and provides higher quality of service at a lower cost than hospitalization.” He also dispelled some popular myths about hospice care and pointed out that “most people don’t know that hospice care is an entitlement and an additive service to other regimes of care. Hospice is also the richest benefit in health care. People get palliative care, medication and medication management, medical equipment and supplies, social work services, psychosocial and spiritual support, health education, respite, personal care by nursing staff and home health aides, 24- hour on call service and assistance with advance care planning. It is a service that helps the patient as well as the family.” Dr. Kerr (see photo above) shared some of his own personal experiences as a physician. He made a strong case for the benefits of hospice in reducing medical costs and noted that “Most patients tell me ‘I wish I’d come to Hospice sooner.’” The event also featured a demonstration of massage therapy by Katie Crooks, Hospice of Orleans Massage Therapist and a presentation by Hospice Music Therapist, Brittany Dix (see photo) who shared a video of one of her sessions with a patient. The event concluded with refreshments and an opportunity to speak with Dr. Kerr and Hospice of Orleans staff. Hospice of Orleans News | Winter 2014/2015 | Page 2 Executive Perspective: Happy New Year! Looking Backward and Looking Forward! The beginning of a new year is a time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. It seems like just a short time ago that a group of thirteen community professional and lay persons came together and in Sept 1988, People Promoting Hospice, Inc. was incorporated and officially born. In 1994 NYS Dept of Health Medicare certification was obtained and later the name was changed to Hospice of Orleans, Inc. As we enter 2015, Hospice of Orleans has a great deal to celebrate. In the past twenty years the organization has grown from one staff person to a team of forty full and part time staff. Home-based care has been the core of the program, but with the opening of our Martin-Linsin Residence in the fall of 2012, a higher level of care is now an option and occasionally services are also provided in nursing homes and hospitals. Those not ready or who do not meet the criteria for hospice care receive palliative care and supportive services through a volunteer driven Transitions Program. We have a bereavement group led by a licensed mental health therapist (LCSW), Mary Anne Fischer music therapy, massage therapy, pet therapy, and spiritual support. This rich array of Executive Director services and programming is unique to Orleans County and is indicative of the strong community support shown to Hospice of Orleans since its inception. As Margaret Mead so famously said: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” This year we will celebrate the accomplishments of Hospice of Orleans over the past twenty years and all that has been done to meet the needs of those with serious illness in our community. Many of our readers have already heard the news that we have a new Director of Development and Community Relations – Nyla Gaylord. Nyla is a lifelong resident of Orleans County and comes to us with extensive experience in grant writing, fundraising, program development and not-for-profit leadership. She will be working with the administrative team and Board of Directors to orchestrate celebration of the agency’s twenty years of service to Orleans County residents. As part of her work she will be conducting a community survey to solicit ideas as to how Hospice can improve its services and reach more individuals who need our care. The information gleaned from this survey will help inform our work in the years ahead. We look forward to learning from the past and planning for the future to ensure the availability of high quality, community based services that are a hallmark of how we accomplish our mission of “embracing those facing advanced illness with optimal levels of comfort, compassion, and expertise.” Hospice of Orleans Annual Spring Bouquet Sale March 2nd through March 6th.

The annual Tree Lighting Ceremony was held on the front lawn of Hospice offices. The white pine tree was decorated with special memorial ribbons and ornaments in memory of family, friends and loved ones. Craig Lape (photo on left) sang “I Believe There are Angels Among Us” a song that speaks to the important role of comfort and support the volunteers and staff provide to those served and their families. Following a short ceremony with reflections by Pastor Linda Haight, (photo on right), the Memorial Tree was illuminated. After a moment of silence and remembrance, the community joined with staff for a reception in the conference center.

Brides and grooms are embracing charitable favors as another way to make their wedding more personal. There's nothing especially meaningful about a bottle of bubbles, but a donation to Hospice really means something. A good example of this is seen in the message Sue and Doug Miller shared with their family and friends in lieu of wedding favors. It reflects their core values and love for their community. If you know someone who would like more information on charitable wedding favors for Hospice give Nyla Gaylord a call or email her at: ngaylord@hospiceoforleans.org. We can help design the message and provide copies.
