Two of Nathan Adelson Hospice’s most important programs – the Pediatric Hospice Program, and the Families in Need Program – will be the beneficiaries of Hospice’s 17th Annual Wine & Food Tasting Extravaganza, this Thursday, October 20th, from 5:30-8pm.

Let’s take a quick peek at what these two programs are all about, shall we?  The Pediatric Hospice Program was created to address the specific needs of not only the children facing life-threatening conditions, but also their families.  This means providing them with emotional support, as well as managing the symptoms of the disease; with the members of the Pediatric Team focused on improving quality of life issues, and alleviating the fear and uncertainty that surrounds these cases.

Services provided by the Pediatric Hospice Program includes a hospice professional being on-call, 24/7; in-home care focused on pain and symptom management; medication, equipment, and supplies; and caregiver support (including bereavement counseling, spiritual care, and psycho-socio services).

The Families in Need Program began out of the realization that oftentimes, hospice patients simply do not have the time to wait for assistance (due to those slow-moving wheels of bureaucracy).  So, the Families in Need Program was started to provide immediate resources for those necessities such as clothing, food, and even the payment of utilities; allowing these funds to be quickly disbursed, to address urgent patient needs – still further evidence of Nathan Adelson Hospice’s commitment to adding more life to their patients’ time.

Now that you know what your dollars will be supporting, here’s what you do…  Buy tickets for Thursday’s Wine & Food Tasting Extravaganza.  Guests are invited to come by Gaudin Porsche, where they will enjoy a selection of delicious wines and savory victuals from some of our city’s finest restaurants – all while enjoying the live music and silent auction, in the dealership’s swanky showroom.  Tickets are $75 each.  And for $150, you can attend the VIP Reserve Experience, from 4:30-5:30pm; featuring wines from Johnson Brothers of Nevada, and cheeses courtesy of Murray’s Cheese.
