Hospice & palliative Care are at a crossroads. Uneven quality and corporate greed threaten its future. We can’t look away — we need a four-part strategic path forward. #HospiceCare #PalliativeCare #HealthPolicy 🔗https://rb.gy/lk5jww

7 tips for talking with someone who is living with #dementia

#Alzheimers #kindness

7 Tips for Talking with Someone who has Dementia

• Approach from the front so as not to startle
• Converse at eye level
• Never argue or disagree; instead, join their reality
• Keep it simple, stick to short specific statements
• Reminisce - in general, older memories are easier to recall than recent ones
• If an upset occurs, acknowledge their feelings and redirect with a change of scenery or new topic
• Don’t be offended it you are not remembered in the moment; it’s not you it’s the dementia

Dr. Frances Collins is a world-renowned scientist and a man of strong faith and conviction. For these reasons, he has always been a role model for me. This is a huge loss for the NIH and science in general. This is also a reflection of how bad things are for science right now in our country.

Dr. Frances Collins is leaving the National Institutes of Health, where he served as director from 2009 to 2021. The agency is facing cutbacks and restrictions under the Trump administration.

In these days of the "now times", I hate Fridays. Today is no different. Terrible things are being done to people I care deeply about - people who serve the common good as public servants.

I can't reach and hug all of my friends and colleagues who are affected.

We are all going to be affected.
