NationAl hospice palliative care week and canadian infertility awareness week

Today marks the beginning of 2 important weeks that are close to the heart of Aaron's Butterfly Run:

May 7-13, 2017 is...

• National Hospice Palliative Care Week and
• Canadian Infertility Awareness Week (CIAW)

In honour of National Hospice Palliative Care Week, you are invited to attend an information session on Perinatal Hospice from 12:00-1:00 PM on Monday, May 8th at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) (W1305-1306). Perinatal Hospice is palliative care directed towards families/individuals expecting babies who may not live beyond birth or the neonatal period. It is a program that is offered at Roger Neilson House that highlights accompanying the family/individual along the trajectory of pregnancy, delivery, the neonatal period, and beyond into bereavement. The information session will be presented by Lynn Grandmaison Dumond (RN (EC), NP), who was also one of our panelists at our Pregnancy & Infant Loss Film Night back in April.

In honour of CIAW, please follow Fertility Matters Canada where personal stories will be shared throughout the week, including some stories that are personal to volunteers of Aaron's Butterfly Run.
