I’m hoping that physicians are getting better training these days about how to initiate conversations with their patients and really listen.

With our planned expansion of the Hospice house, I think the statistics on hospice care are particularly enlightening. Maybe some of those statistics will be useful as we show others in the community (who aren’t familiar with our Hospice program) the value of that kind of care.

Thanks, Rob, for recommending the article. I have already been doing that, too.
