• End-of-Life education for nurses and allied healthcare
• Train the trainer programs for hospital educators in end-of-life care
• A "Resolve Thru Sharing" program to address perinatal loss and death
• Programs to address "Compassion Fatigue" in healthcare workers dealing with patients at the end- of-life
• Development of relationships with local hospices and palliative care home health programs or development of palliative care and hospice in your existing home health agency
• Grand rounds and in-service education on related topics
• Advance Care Planning training
