Greetings!

What are we all about?
This eNewsletter is about sharing and learning about senior resources and issues through the Internet and ultimately connecting older consumers with resources and providers so they can age well. Surfing the Internet to research is great but remember to use the tried and true technique of picking up the phone and calling. And if your search involved the Seniors Resource Guide website please let the provider know that.

The Story of Hospice
This program was originally produced in collaboration with the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) in 2004. NHPCO arranged filming at Pikes Peak Hospice and Palliative Care to interview a hospice care team and a hospice patient. They also provided interviews with Matt Lauer of the Today Show and former Senator Elizabeth Dole as well as NHPCO president Donald Schumacher. This program has been re-edited and formatted for viewing over the Internet.
