The 2008 Plenary of the College of Pastoral Supervision & Psychotherapy was held March 31 through April 2, 2008, at the Wyndham Riverfront in North Little Rock Arkansas.
During the Plenary many of the CPSP community enjoyed meeting and having conversation with this warm, engaging and compelling person. Her creative, insightful and deep understanding of Hospice was not only informative but contagious as she captured the sprit of care that is at the core of Hospice movement.
Carolyn Cassin has graciously granted permission for the Pastoral Report to publish the Power Point presentation, Open Access Hospice: America's Challenge, she use during her address to the CPSP Community.

Carolyn Cassin, an internationally recognized expert in end of life care, organizational management, and the efficient, effective delivery of healthcare services was one of the Keynote speakers for the 2008 CPSP Plenary.
She is considered a leader in the national healthcare community, in 1983 she helped guide the first Medicare reimbursement for hospice successfully through Congress. Since then, Carolyn has taken on the challenge of advancing both the quality and accessibility of hospice care.
In 2002, Carolyn joined Continuum Hospice Care in New York City. Almost immediately and for the first time in its history, she led the hospice to profitability. In only four years, average daily census has more than quadrupled to well over 450 patients, and Continuum Hospice Care’s facilities have grown to 2 inpatient units and a hospice residence, with another scheduled to open this fall.
Under Carolyn’s leadership, Continuum Hospice Care was recently honored with the prestigious American Hospital Association’s 2006 Circle of Life award. Formerly called Jacob Perlow Hospice, Continuum Hospice Care is now New York City’s largest hospice with a comprehensive program that reaches throughout the City, caring for patients in their homes, nursing homes, hospitals and Continuum Hospice Care’s own facilities.
