Information for professionals
Welcome to the Hosparus page with information for professionals dealing with end-of-life issues. We value the many professionals in our region who, in their own settings and disciplines, join us in providing quality end-of-life care to patients and families. We offer many dimensions of information and resources, from referral information to specialized continuing education and conferences to library and web resources to employment and much more. For more information, please contact us at Hosparus Education and Volunteer Center, (502) 719-8910.
