Friends of the Library is offering a FREE presentation led by Maureen Paschke, a specialist in social gerontology, who will inform participants about Community Hospice and its services for patient care and family needs.
Ms. Paschke is an expert in the non-medical aspects of aging and has led bereavement support groups for those who find themselves alone. Participants will also learn about palliative care and what that means for patients and their loved ones.
This FREE program is brought to the community by the Education Committee of the Friends of the Fernandina Beach Library. It will be held in the Fernandina Beach Library’s Meeting Room at 24 North 4th Street, on Tuesday, January 17 at 10:30 a.m. You may register at the Library or call the Library at 904-277-7365.

Debbie worked for Community Hospice for a number of years as a field nurse after 12+ years in Atlanta with Hospice Atlanta in the field and their in-house patient facility. Community Hospice and other hospice programs operating in the north FL/south GA area are wonderful programs providing patient and family support at a most difficult time. It always is a good thing to have as much information as possible as to all the options that are available when facing a terminal illness.
