Lunch and Learn, Pam Putney, Reimbursements and Contract Specialist, Hospice of the Northwest, February 13, 2025, from 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM,

There comes a time in everyone’s life that our treatment options for chronic and acute illnesses are not going to provide the cure we are looking for. When that time comes, you may want to consider hospice and comfort care over treatment. Hospice of the Northwest has been serving hospice patients for several decades.  This presentation focuses on the myths and realities of hospice care and why enrolling in hospice early in the process provides the patient and their circle of support a wonderful experience.

Cognitive and Memory Assessments with Kelsey Lovik and Kate Massey, Dementia Support Program Specialists with the Northwest Regional Council

Location: Global Credit Union, 119 E. College Way, Mount Vernon WA,

Day/time: February 26, 2025, 1:00 – 3:00 PM

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a test used to detect mild cognitive decline. The test can be administered with a pen and paper and is usually completed in about 10 minutes. It is important to note that the MoCA test can’t diagnose mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia, but it can be used as a screening tool that can help identify people who may need further testing, or help develop a baseline. The MoCA test is not a substitute for any medical intervention.

The Assessments will be performed at Global Credit Union (119 E. College Way, Mount Vernon WA) in order to facilitate a quiet and private space. Please sign up in a 20 minute time slot.
