Last Acts of Kindness: Relieving Suffering, Offering Compassion
 
Join Judith Redwing Keyssar, RN, BA, for a multi-media presentation and discussion about Palliative Care.

Seniors•At•Home offers a comprehensive range of programs that help older adults live safer, healthier, more independent lives in their own homes, including award-winning home care and care management. For more information visit www.SeniorsAtHome.org.
