Reaching For The Gold, May 21, 2013
Rev. Ken Dupin was instrumental in developing the MedCottage.
These structures are tiny enough to be installed virtually anywhere. But despite their small size they can serve as an alternative to nursing home care because they are specially equipped to ensure the safety and medical well-being of an elderly resident, even those who are medically fragile.
Compassion and Choices has long been involved in helping people understand the options they have as regards end of life issues. It has worked to make people aware that they do not have to accept aggressive medical treatment. They can opt for palliative care which focuses upon pain reduction rather than searching for a cure. Roland Halpern serves as that organization’s Community Groups Representative.

A publishing journalist and a college instructor Harriet finds that these two careers have much in common as they both demand honing communication skills every day. Harriet instructs her students almost exclusively online and her writing is published in print and over the web. Times change but the need to speak to your audience by being concise, yet intriguing, is key.
