Free Educational Resources
Educational materials on topics as varied as Alzheimer’s Disease and ADHD to Multiple Sclerosis and Menopause are now available free-of-charge at all three Hospice of the Carolina Foothills (HoCF) locations: at the main Hospice of the Carolina Foothills office in Columbus behind St. Luke’s Hospital; at Smith Phayer Hospice House on Fairwinds Rd. in Landrum, and at The Hospice Thrift Barn on Hwy 14 at I-26 in Landrum.
“These materials can help you and your family understand a particular disease, talk with your doctor, provide more confident caregiving or just learn how to live a healthy life and help prevent disease,” explains Cheryl Brock, Healthcare Liaison for HoCF.
Individuals, families, health care providers, schools and nursing facilities are urged to take advantage of the health-related materials, and request literature on topics that might prove helpful.
