Bereavement Council seeks new members
posted October 7th, 2008Are you interested in bereavement issues? Duke Hospital’s Bereavement Advisory Council (BAC) is seeking new members.
BAC is a multidisciplinary committee that works closely with the Bereavement Services coordinator on developing programs for patients, families, and staff in areas of grief, loss, death, and dying.
Did you know that the BAC works with the Bereavement Services coordinator to sponsor hospital-wide services of remembrance, bereavement follow-up programs, and an educational series entitled Conversations?
What ideas might you have to enhance our bereavement work at Duke?
New members will serve three-year terms beginning in January 2009. The council meets monthly and strongly encourages members to have the support of their supervisor and department prior to making a commitment. Applications will be accepted through Nov. 21.
Questions can be directed to Rebecca McIntyre at mcint017@mc.duke.edu or, Joanna Parker at joanna.parker@duke.edu.
