November is National Hospice and Palliative Care month, a time to reflect on specialized compassionate care that is available for those coping with a life-limiting illness. Imagine how overwhelming it is to work through the maze of doctors, hospitals, insurance, and also take care of yourself. It is the most challenging task one will ever face and Livingston Hospice understands … and is here to help. Livingston hospice focuses on helping people learn what options might be available, while getting the care they need and deserve. “We’re working to make sure people know that support, comfort and respect are available at a time when hope seems out of reach,” said Dr. Lanyard Dial, Livingston Memorial’s President/CEO and Medical Director. “During November, we focus our efforts to raise awareness of the high-quality care that’s available during one of life’s most challenging times,” said Dr. Dial. When cure is not possible, Livingston hospice provides hope; along with pain management, symptom control, and emotional and spiritual support. When facing a serious illness, most people want to be home, surrounded by their loved ones … hospice makes this all possible as medication, equipment and help are brought to the patient, wherever they may reside. “There’s an inaccurate perception among the public that hospice means you’ve given up,” said J. Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. “It’s about quality of life; with the help of hospice and palliative care, patients and families can focus on what’s most important, living life as fully as possible, in spite of illness.” Dr. Dial said. |

First Congress Stole The Social Security Surplus NOW THEY WANT TO ROB SENIORS THROUGH INFLATION
Written by Lawrence A. Hunter, Ph.D. of the Social Security Institute Super Committee wants to change the way inflation is calculated by adopting the so-called “Chained CPI” to reduce Cost of Living Allowances (COLAs).

Restaurants, bars around Gallaudet adjust for clientele
Written By Tim Devaney Shortly after it opened, the H Street Country Club bar switched from black napkins to white. It seems like a small change, but it has had a big impact for one group of customers. “We recognize the majority of the people in our bar are hearing-impaired,” said owner Ricardo Vergara, whose business is near Gallaudet University, one of the largest schools for the deaf in the nation. “They’re a big part of this side of town. So we make adjustments when they’re around.” And the napkin color? Deaf... http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/sep/7/h-street-friendly-to-deaf... |
