Panama Hospice to be featured on Gerry D Show

The Pacific beach area, Panama City, Boquete, and beyond continue to grow with a high concentration of aging expatriates.  A plan and support system for this next phase of life is important. A community initiative called The Panama Hospice and Respite Foundation (PHRF) was formed with this in mind.

PHRF is a non-tax oriented, private interest foundation which provides service free of charge.  Its mission is to assist, using trained volunteers, hospice clients and their caregivers as well as those needing short-term help in crisis situations.  The volunteers work in cooperation with the client's primary caregiver.  While PHRF hopes to extend its services to all members of the community, in this inception phase it only provides service in English.

Additional services provided by PHRF are a Buddy Connection System, a Home Care Equipment Loan Program, a Blood Bank Registry and Seminars on Planning for Healthy Aging.

If you are interested in the initiative tune in to the Gerry D Show on 89.3FM, COOL FM tomorrow, Friday, July 31st from 8-9:30. Joyce Perrin, the president of PHRF will be interviewed by Sandra Synder.
