Featured speaker Tani Bahti, RN, CT, CHPN, author, educator and nationally recognized expert on end-of-life care, will present Transforming Dying, Transforming Ourselves at this year’s Dr. Sharon Erel Lecture offered by Hospice of Northwest Ohio.

The virtual event will be held Thursday, May 13, from 8:30 a.m. to noon.

During the program, Ms. Bahtiwill discuss living through dying and how changing the perceptions of life can impact all who provide care for those at the endof life.

She will review quality-of-life concerns along with personal values, triggers and fears people may confront as they face death.

Ms. Bahti will then demystify the dying process and discuss the physical and psychosocial aspects of dying along with the “mysteries.”

By understanding the dying process and the body’s wisdom, care providers can support patients and families to make decisions that promote comfort at the end of life.
