MCH to Host Conference on Trauma Informed Care

Monroe Community Hospital is hosting, along with the Finger Lakes Geriatric Education Center and Ithaca College Gerontology Institute, a conference focusing on “Trauma Informed Care: Foundations and Implementation of in Long Term Care.” This conference will help care providers define trauma, review person centered planning, identify the specific needs of older populations, outline trauma symptom management, identify ways to work with families, and how to implement trauma informed care in long term care organizations. Based on these new regulations from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service, Monroe Community Hospital is proudly working to continue to provide the most informed and comprehensive care to all our residents, and working with other organizations to ensure that, regardless of where they call home, all those in long term care receive the best care possible.
