2014 Spiritual Care Conference Topics and Speaker Information
Who Should Attend? Faith community leaders, lay ministers, chaplains, funeral directors, congregational nurses, counselors and social workers, and grief support faith community members.
We are experiencing an unprecedented demographic shift in population...a silver tsunami of aging in America. How will this shift affect our communities? How can we be proactive in addressing the shifting needs
of our aging congregations? Join us as we explore ways to enhance our outreach to the aging...to the seriously ill...and to those approaching end of life care.
Welcome/Surfing the Silver Tsunami
Linda Darden, President & CEO, Hospice &
Palliative CareCenter, Rowan Hospice & Palliative Care
Rosemary Niles, BSN, RN, Regional Faith
Community Liaison, HPCC/RHPC*
Our Changing Demographics
Christine Brown, Regional Vice President of
Business Development, HPCC/RHPC
Our nation’s demographics are changing rapidly,
with as many as 10,000 people turning 65 every
day from now until 2030. By 2050, the elderly are
expected to account for more than one fifth of the
total United States population. Christine Brown will
examine our nation’s ageing demographics, discuss
the financial, social, and medical implications of
such rapid change, and prompt action to address the
current and impending needs of a graying nation.
Hospice – More Than A Place
Anita Ford, BSN, MSN, RN, CHPN, Vice
President of Clinical Services, HPCC/RHPC
A major component of the Hospice Medicare Benefit
(HMB) is to meet the medical, emotional, social,
and spiritual needs of patients and families facing
the end of life. This is accomplished through expertly
provided hospice care. Participants will gain a deeper
understanding of the many benefits and specific care
offered to patients and families under hospice care.
If We Don’t Talk About It, Maybe It Will Go Away
Donna Hampton, BA, LPC, MS, NCC, Director of
Grief/Bereavement, HPCC/RHPC
We are all too familiar with the coping strategy
of evasion. We think by avoiding the conversation
about death we can escape the reality of losing a
loved one. If we don’t talk about it, maybe it will
go away. We will explore the reasons why these
conversations are avoided, the potential short and
long-term impacts upon bereavement, and how
these conversations may be more effectively and
thoughtfully approached.
Hospice – There Is So Much More We Can Do!
Tina Stearns, Director, Provider &
Community Outreach, HPCC/RHPC
Because most patients and families wish they had
known to call hospice sooner, this session will shine
light on the many and even unexpected ways that
hospice can offer support.
And Now...We Talk
F. Keith Stirewalt, PA, MBA, MDiv., ACP
Consultant/Coordinator/Chaplain,
Wake Forest Baptist Health
We’ve learned of resources available to assist us
in the care of our congregants and patients. But
how do we weave this information into difficult
conversations...providing knowledge woven into
pastoral presence?
Panel: If We Don’t Talk About It,
Maybe It Will Go Away
In this session, local community chaplains will
share their perspectives on the importance of
communicating your wishes. They will share stories
from their various professional settings about patient
and family experiences at end of life.

How Does Cultural Diversity Impact
End of Life Care Choices?
Dee Leahman, Corporate Manager/
Advance Care Planning, Novant Health
We all die, but the dying process is one of great
diversity, influenced by social, cultural, and personal
circumstances. This session will explore similarities
and differences in approaches to the dying process
from family to family, culture to culture. The goal of
the session is to improve our ability to respect and
honor individual wishes
Supporting Those Who Are Seriously Ill
Ann Gauthreaux, Regional Director of Public
Relations, HPCC/RHPC
Rosemary Niles, BSN, RN, Regional Faith
Community Liaison, HPCC/RHPC
We plan for college, marriage, a baby, and retirement,
but we don’t prepare for the end of life. This session
will provide participants tools and confidence to
engage in conversation about planning for, and
finding support at end-of-life.
Goal:
To empower the participants to deepen
their work with those who are dying and
prepare them to manage the upcoming
needs of the aging population.
Participants will:
1. Identify the trends and changing landscape of our aging population in this state/region
2. Demonstrate their confidence in advocating for the current needs of their own community
3. Review new tools and resources
