Show I I WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, JULY 26, 1979 OGDEN - Mrs. R. is 63 years old. She is dying of cancer. She will not spend her last days in the sterile atmosphere of a hospital. Instead, because of a new program being formalized in Weber County, she will spend the last phase of her life in the familiar setting of her own home. Her rocking chair, which has been in the family for three generations, will be at her bedside. So will her dog who has followed her around for 11 years. AND, BECAUSE of the help offered by the program's special team, her husband and four grown children know how to care for her physically and emotionally. They have united as a family to make these last days rich ones...for her and for each family member. The program which will make this possible is Hospice. Formally organized as Hospice of Northern Utah, Inc., it involves physicians, nurses, social workers, and interested citizens. THE PURPOSE is to help the terminally ill and their families to accept and prepare for death, according R. to Tanner, Wayne president of the programs newly-forme-d board of trustees. Mr. Tanner, gerontologist at Weber State College, described Hospice as a program of care, providing medical, psychological and social services to terminally-il- l pa- tients and their families, Getting a championship form in gear for this fall are Davis High including front, Shelly Kimose, Maiy Ellen Clark and Kathy Strong; second row, Pam Bain, Jamie Bourne, Karen Watts, Amber Stewart and Denise Bates; third row, Melanie Valentine, Connie Robbins, JoEllen Godfrey, president; Carol Taylor and Colleen Clawson; standing, Roberta Thompson, Michelle Verrier, vice president; Marcie Moore, treasurer; Lori Walcott, secretary; at top of Cynthia Ford, and Deanna Lasker, publicity manager. es D-ET- TONE UP TES D, i KAYSVILLE High School L - The Davis recently returned from Utah State U.S.A.

Legislation of standards, licensure, third party reimbursement for services and staff training are immediate priorities. This will include volunteers, specially-selecte- d and trained to augment staff services." Unlike hospitals, which are designed and organized around people who are expected to recover from their illnesses, hospice is designed for the patient who will not recover and has only a short time to live, Mr. Tanner explained. home health services to the patient and family. Emphasis throughout is placed on sympton control, not cure, with preparation for and support before and after death. CARE THROUGH the program does not stop with the death of a patient. Hospice provides emotional support for the family during bereavement as they endure the suffering caused by the separation from a loved one. Hospice is expected to provide the family with an opportunity to discuss many disturbing questions, such as, Was it right to keep him at Should we have home? taken him to the hospital? TO STRIVE for cure when cure is no longer possible adds frustration and alienation to the existing problems of both patients and caregivers, he said. Instead, all efforts are concentrated on making this time as comfortable and meaningful as pos- sible, both to the patient and his family.

WHEN THE program becomes fully operational, said Mr. Tanner, Hospice will be available on a basis, helping the terminally ill to die in an atmosphere of comfort and love, and helping the bereaved to deal with that passing. desireable option, he noted.

Interestingly, the program, which cuts down on hospitalization of the terminally ill, began in a hospital setting. In the fall of 1977, St. Benedicts Hospital explored the possibility of initiating such a program, patterned after a number of hospices being set up in other areas of the country.
