End of Life Medical Moral Issues Workshop with Fr. Charles Vavonese

Project COMPASSION is an acronym for Coordination of Medical, Palliative, and Spiritual Support In Our Neighborhoods offered through the Diocese of Syracuse. It provides a series of videos from experts to guide patients and their families for the end-of-life. Project COMPASSION began as conversations between Dr. Paul Fiacco and Father Charles Vavonese over concerns that end-of-life discussions with seriously ill patients are occurring late when the patient is hospitalized and nearing the end-of-life.

The Good News Center will be hosting a free workshop presented by Father Charles Vavonese, project director and co-founder the workshop will discuss “End of Life Medical Moral Issues.” One hundred years ago, most people died of infectious diseases such as pneumonia; today due to advance in medical technology, most people die of chronic diseases. While medical technology has extended our lives, it has also presented us with several moral and medical dilemmas.

The mission of the workshop is to provide spiritual and emotional guidance to patients and their families.

Please register by February 4th. Light refreshments will be provided.
