LAS VEGAS TRAGEDY: LESSONS
FROM ONE HOSPICE PROVIDER
by Jon Radulovic, NHPCO Vice President, Communications
NHPCO staff had the opportunity to speak with Kim
Anderson, Infinity Hospice Care's Vice President of
Business Development, and her colleague Tracy
Sundberg, RN, Executive Director, regarding ways that
their organization responded following the October
shooting in Las Vegas. They hope that by sharing their
experience, they might give other organizations some
things to consider in crafting emergency response plans
and community relationships.
Communities often lean on the support and expertise
that hospice can offer when tragedies involving loss of
life occur. There are countless stories of hospice
bereavement counselors going above and beyond their
everyday job duties in times of need - from rushing to a
school after a car accident that claimed a young life, to
offering grief support to a local business that
experienced the unexpected loss of a beloved colleague,
to opening its doors for grief support groups that are
developed in response to a community's unique needs.
On October 1, 2017, worldwide attention turned to Las
Vegas following the tragic shooting at an outdoor music
festival where 58 people died and 546 people were
injured. The entire Las Vegas community was affected
by the scale of this tragedy - and several hospice
programs in the area have provided counseling and
other forms of support. Examples of the response
activities include Nathan Adelson Hospice setting up a
hotline for community partners to call for support;
Community Hospice & Palliative Care and Hoffmann
Hospice Home both offering grief support sessions and
community presentations following the tragedy. Infinity
Hospice Care sent credentialed staff to UMC Trauma
Center the night of the shooting and are involved in the
grief counseling center established by Clark County.

had been a shooting that involved possible deaths and
significant injuries. As first responders and city
