ALS Learning Series: Hospice & Palliative Care for People with ALS

This Hospice and Palliative Care webinar goes over how to talk with your loved ones about ALS end-of-life care, what to say, and most importantly, when to say it.

About the Speaker:

The webinar was presented by Dr. Martha Twaddle, Medical Director of Palliative Medicine & Supportive Care at Northwestern Medicine. Dr. Twaddle has more than 30 years of clinical expertise at supporting individuals (and their families) at the end of life.

Dr. Twaddle discusses the differences between Palliative Care and Hospice Care, as well as their benefits, services offered, and when to seek out this care. She also explains the types of services that hospice offers and what you need to know before signing-up for services. Many families dealing with ALS find this information to be ultimately comforting.
