Hospice of the Golden Isles Expands Services to Empower Healthcare Professionals with Professional Development Courses and Continuing Education Units

December 12, 2023 (Brunswick, Ga.) – Hospice of the Golden Isles, a nonprofit based in Brunswick, Ga., and a leading provider of compassionate end-of-life care, is proud to announce the launch of a new initiative to support the ongoing professional development of Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) in Georgia. This initiative marks a significant milestone in the organization’s commitment to fostering excellence in healthcare and enhancing the skills of its dedicated staff.

Hospice of the Golden Isles offers in-service programs covering various clinical, psychosocial, and spiritual topics. Their credentialed staff present these professional development courses in a setting most convenient to their healthcare partners at their facility or the Hospice of the Golden Isles campus, which results in Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for LPNs and RNs at little or no cost.

“Hospice of the Golden Isles is excited to share our expertise with our community partners through these training modules,” said Paula DiLandro, Executive Director of Hospice of the Golden Isles. “These modules are specifically focused on the most common areas of concern. The goal is to ensure we are collectively providing the highest quality of care to those at the end of life, regardless of the care setting.”

In addition to benefiting the organization’s nursing staff, this initiative aligns with Hospice of the Golden Isles’ broader mission to contribute positively to the overall healthcare landscape within the community. By promoting professional excellence, the organization hopes to set a standard for quality hospice care and inspire others in the healthcare industry to prioritize ongoing education.
