This week, a man named Bob Kane is in Belize from Rochester. He had the brilliant idea to teach hospice care (end-of-life care) to high school students here and in Rochester. He is working with a local high school in Dangriga to develop the program, and uses telemed to hold teaching sessions with the Belizean students. The students will be providing palliative care (comfort care) to fellow Belizeans who may not have access to care at the end of their lives. Rochester high school students are participating as well, and will be coming here in April to work alongside the Belizean students.
