AGS Launches 2008 Speaker's Series
at MetroHealth's Senior Health and Wellness Center


Adult Guardianship Services launched its 2008 Speaker's Series on February 14th in partnership with three other social and health care organizations: MetroHealth System, Concordia Care, and Hospice and Palliative Care Partners of Ohio. Continental breakfast, lecture room, and free parking were provided by our seminar partners, including decorations celebrating Valentine’s Day.

The featured speaker at the fourth annual ethics presentation was Mark Aulissio, Ph.D., Associate Professor of BioEthics and Director of the Master's Program in BioEthics at University Hospital-Case Medical Center. Dr. Aulissio presented "Case Studies and Ethical Dilemmas in Medical Decision-Making" which was an advanced level seminar. Sixty-five people attended the seminar. The topic stimulated a great deal of thoughtful and questions and timely discussion.

The program was held at MetroHealth's Senior Health and Wellness Center, formerly Deaconess Hospital, which has been remodeled and renovated.  It houses offices of MetroHealth along with two long-term care skilled nursing floors.  Concordia Care, an innovative program providing total care for the elderly, will open its facilities there in March. In the spring, Hospice and Palliative Care Partners of Ohio will open its floor that includes residential hospice beds.
