Hospice Wits Staff on Their Way to America

The day has finally arrived and Hospice Wits staff are on their way to America. While visiting they will share with our Suncoast Hospice staff experiences gained from providing health care to their patients in South Africa. They will also attend the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) Clinical Team Conference in Orlando, Florida. We have many activities planned for them while visiting our facilities and staff in Pinellas County, FL and hope they return to S.A. with new perspectives on providing care to their communities.
