Diversity at the End of Life

September 17, 2020 | 12 – 1 p.m.

Understanding comes from knowing, which is why AuthoraCare Collective has partnered with the Alamance Chamber, the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce, Fox Rothschild LLP and Cone Health to explore the impact of health disparities and the opportunities for intentional inclusion in our businesses and communities.
Join us on September 17 to hear panelists Marisette Hasan, Rev. Dr. James Fisher, Mary Manley and April Herring discuss Diversity at End of Life.
This webinar is the last in a 3-part series focusing on understanding and increasing our knowledge of health disparities and diversity at the end of life. We will discuss how the end of life experience is affected by limited knowledge about and trust in available services such as palliative care and hospice. The role of the faith community and partnerships with the health care community will also be a part of our conversation.

MEET OUR PANELISTS

Rev. Dr. James W. Fisher A native of Greenwood, SC, Dr. Fisher was licensed to preach The Gospel on October 6, 1986. Prior to his arrival at Saint Paul, Dr. Fisher served as pastor of Jacob Chapel Baptist Church in Greenwood. Equipped by his formal education in Theology and personal life experiences, as guided by the Holy Spirit, Pastor Fisher continues to transform his ministry into one focused on Kingdom work. A vital part of this Kingdom work, he believes, is caring for God’s most vulnerable – the elderly and the poor. In the year 2000, Dr. Fisher established the Senior Adult program known as “Senior Travelers”. This program offers education, support and socialization for Seniors. Participants meet monthly and often travel by the busloads to different recreational sites and educational workshops.

Marisette Hasan BSN, RN, began her role as CEO & President at The Carolinas Center in 2018, following a career in healthcare and hospice. Marisette graduated from the University of SC and began her career as oncology nurse in 1981. She soon discovered a love for caring for her patients in a holistic manner and throughout the continuum of their illness. Hospice was a perfect fit. Marisette’s hospice experience began in 1985 and since then she has served in various roles, from hospice nurse to administrator with hospital programs and independent community programs. In her role with The Carolinas Center, she works with community stakeholders engaged in the delivery of end of life care in diverse settings, in addition to working with hospice and palliative care providers. Marisette believes that when we build bridges through common agendas and collaborative partnerships, we can do amazing work and improve the care of all South Carolinians living with advanced illness. Marisette lives in Columbia with her husband.
