RRH Wellness Wednesday: Hospice and Palliative Care Experts; Dr. Adam Herman & Jeff Atwood RN & Team

RRH Wellness Wednesdays feature Rochester Regional clinicians and experts sharing their experiences and knowledge in an effort to improve your health and wellness, and to help connect you with specialists when you’re interested in individualized care. Check each week for the new topic! 

We have a well-respected expert physician returning for Wellness Wednesday for the THIRD TIME; Dr. Adam Herman from the RRH Palliative Care team. Dr. Herman is board certified in Internal Medicine, Geriatrics, Hospice and Palliative care. Dr. Herman, along with his team member, Jeff Atwood RN, will be joining us for a two-part series for Wellness Wednesday, July 17th and 24th.

July 17th – Part 1 Dr. Herman will be educating the community on his role over at Rochester Regional Health and what is means to have a palliative care consult. He will discuss goals of care, community resources for end-of-life care, comfort care homes in our Rochester area and discuss the process. He will help define terms such as Hospice and Palliative care.

July 24th – Part 2 Dr. Herman will discuss advanced care planning (advance care directives, health care proxy, MOLST form etc) and why it is so important to have these forms completed, shared and available to your loved ones. Dr. Herman and Nurse Jeff will be available to answer questions and help break down barriers and ease anxiety surrounding these sensitive topics.

RRH Community Hospice & Palliative Care Educator, Ursula Dyson RN, will be set up with a table and educational materials ready to answer your questions regarding hospice and palliative care in the Rochester community. Do you want to volunteer in Hospice? Ask Ursula & team to learn more.
