@CaSIPO_SA it is important to change the perception of hospice as a place of dying but a place of living and impeccable service delivery to communities

[Liz Gwyther @lizhpca]

@HPCA_SA Zina at St Joseph's Hospice - thought about a place people go to die. New focus on people on treatment to stay healthy; emotionally to learn to live with HIV if people don't attend Sarah will go & find them, change view of people about hospice to live well

[CaSIPO Project @CaSIPO_SA]

The role of #hospices has changed. No longer can people assume it’s just about “death and dying”, many hospices are used for patients to live active, get medication, get emotional and spiritual support and then go home and get on with the rest of the day! @HPCA_SA #CaSIPOImpact

[CaSIPO Project @CaSIPO_SA]

The understanding of communities to what a hospice stands for is being managed well, as many people are starting to realise that hospice is not only a place of death and dying but a place of living well! #CaSIPOImpact
