Study results will be shared showing significant healing with palliative wound care measures. Even at the end of life, with severe comorbidities and fatal disease conditions, palliative wound care can significantly enhance the quality of life for these patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Workshop goals and objectives:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Define proper support surfaces to enhance care of patients and their wounds<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Discuss interdisciplinary approach with surgery and vascular surgery as indicated<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Manage symptoms of chronic wounds, especially \u201cpain and odor\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/floridahospices.org\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/photo_Tippett1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-774 alignleft\" style=\"border: 2px solid white;\" title=\"Aletha Tippett\" src=\"http:\/\/floridahospices.org\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/photo_Tippett1-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"162\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/floridahospices.org\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/photo_Tippett1-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/floridahospices.org\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/photo_Tippett1-794x1024.jpg 794w, https:\/\/floridahospices.org\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/photo_Tippett1.jpg 964w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 162px) 100vw, 162px\" \/><\/a><em><strong>Speaker: Aletha Tippett, MD, Owner and Physician, Aletha W.
