“Sharing Bad News,” Joan Harrold, MD
 
We will all die. Many of us will have warnings of that eventuality. Today’s program is about the process how and why the information of your impending demise is delivered to you. A few decades ago the information that you were in a terminal condition was held back from you. Times have changed for the better.
 
Joan Harrold, MD
 
Dr. Harrold is the Medical Director and Vice President of Medical Services of Hospice & Community Care in Lancaster/York, PA and has almost two decades of experience in hospice and palliative care. Board certified in Internal Medicine with added qualifications in Hospice and Palliative Medicine, she also completed a Master of Public Health degree with special emphasis in epidemiology and biostatistics.
 
She serves on the Board of Directors of NHPCO and previously served as a director on the Boards of the Pennsylvania Hospice and Palliative Care Network (including terms as president and vice-president), the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM), the American Board of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (ABHPM), and the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Foundation. 
 
A co-author of the Handbook for Mortals: Guidance for People Facing Serious Illness (2nd edition, 2011), Dr. Harrold has also participated in peer-reviewed research in hospice care and is a frequent presenter on national and regional levels.
 
Dr. Harrold is the 2014 recipient of the PHPCN Nancy Bohnet Award for Excellence honoring individuals who demonstrate excellence in patient care and high ethical standards.

New Member Inducted
 
Larry Helicher, the second-best Sergeant-at-Arms, introduced and PP Karl Boltz inducted Andre Renna to the Club as our newest member. 
 
Andre is semi-retired, but does some consulting work to fill his time in between watching his two grandchildren.  Born in Brooklyn, New York, Andre attended Syracuse University and obtained a degree in Industrial Engineering.  Andre worked for John Deere, Hershey Foods, Victor Weaver, Lancaster General and Regional Gastroenterology before starting his own consulting businesses.
 
He has served and has been active on the Boards of the YMCA, Heart Association, Cleft Palate and others.
 
Andre has authored a book, “You’ll Land on Your Feet:  How Anyone Can Survive and Thrive After Job Loss.”
 
Please welcome Andre to our Club!
 
 
From the Podium
 
President Althea reminded the Club that each week’s program is recorded and posted on You Tube for the members.  Watching one of our programs does count as a Make-Up. 
 
Prez Althea also noted that not only is the program recorded, we are now including the question and answer period.  The Prez alerted us of this update, as to warn us to be on our best behavior, because the video will be out on the “web.”  She also said that “the question and answer time is usually the best part of the program.”  The Prez quickly clarified that she meant that after a very stimulating and educational program, there can be thought-provoking Q&A engaging both the presenter and the membership.  Nice save Prez!
