Understanding palliative care: join our free community class on July 10
When facing a serious illness, having access to the right information can help individuals and families feel more confident about the care they receive. That's why we're inviting community members to attend our free Palliative Care Basics class on Friday, July 10, at 1:30 p.m. at the Colorado Springs Senior Center, located at 1514 N. Hancock Ave., Colorado Springs, CO 80903.

This informative and compassionate class is designed to help older adults, caregivers, and anyone interested in learning more about palliative care understand the valuable role it plays in supporting people living with serious illness.

What You'll Learn
Many people have heard of palliative care but aren't sure exactly what it is or when it's appropriate. During this session, we'll discuss:
  • What palliative care is—and what it isn't
  • How palliative care focuses on comfort, symptom management, and quality of life
  • Ways to reduce stress for both patients and caregivers
  • Resources available to help individuals and families navigate serious illness
Palliative care works alongside curative treatments and is centered on the individual's goals, values, and preferences. It is designed to improve quality of life by addressing physical symptoms while also providing emotional, social, and practical support.

Who Should Attend?
This class is especially beneficial for:
  • Older adults
  • Family caregivers
  • Anyone caring for a loved one with a serious illness
  • Individuals interested in learning more about supportive healthcare options
Whether you're planning ahead, currently navigating a diagnosis, or simply want to better understand the services available, this class offers practical information and helpful resources.
