Overview

Elders and Faith Community Partnerships

Friday, May 5, 2017
3-4 p.m. ET

Today, 13 million older Americans need personal assistance or other supports. By mid-century, this number is expected to double. More than 80 percent live at home, cared for by family members and friends. Most frail elders can remain at home with adequate support and assistance. Part of that support and assistance can come from health care organizations themselves and from faith communities – parishes, churches, synagogues, mosques and other congregations.

This webinar will introduce CHA's new resource of faith community partnerships and describe how health care organizations can work with faith communities to support older persons to help them stay at home, as healthy and independent as possible.

Who should attend?

This webinar will be relevant for leaders in the following areas: mission, pastoral care, community benefit, long-term care, nursing and sponsorship.

After completion of the May 5 webinar, participants will be able to:

Discuss the advantages of health care/faith community partnerships to health care organizations, faith communities and older members of faith congregations.
Identify models of health care/faith community partnerships.
Get started and sustain relationships with faith communities.
