Health Notes: End-of-life workshops planned in Grand Rapids

An author and educator on end-of-life issues will be the featured speaker at two workshops later this month in Grand Rapids.

Barbara Karnes is author of the 1986 book “Gone From My Sight: The Dying Experience.” She spent 30 years as a hospice nurse, according to a news release from the Grand Itasca Foundation, which is sponsoring the workshops along with the Itasca Hospice Foundation.

The public is invited to attend either of the end-of-life care workshops, both of which will take place at the Reif Center, 720 Northwest Conifer Dr.

They will take place Sept. 26 and Sept. 27, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. The registration fee of $30 includes lunch.

To register for either session, call (218) 999-1454 or online.
