The teleconference is open to the public and free of charge. Produced by Hospice Foundation of America, it will include a panel of experts who will define and demonstrate how values, ethics, laws, and cultural differences may influence ethical decision-making in health care settings.
Cokie Roberts, ABC News correspondent, will moderate the teleconference. Afterward, a panel of local professionals will respond to the presentation and be available to answer questions from the audience regarding local resources.
Three units of credits will be available for social workers and other care providers for $25.
