A Challenging Environment Calls for Creative Communication Strategies
Presented on: Tuesday, February 09, 2021
Family Services Coordinator’s (FSC’s) are critical partners to patient care providers as they collaboratively support families and, when appropriate, present them with the opportunity for donation. With the outbreak of COVID-19 leading to limited face-to-face interaction, the creative and talented FSC’s at New England Donor Services (NEDS) have explored unique communication strategies that have enabled their team to accommodate families in a considerate and respectful manner during their time of grief. Join us to hear from the Family Support Team at NEDS as they present unique strategies that their team has successfully implemented to maximize communication with donor families in this challenging environment.
