What is hospice? How will I know it's time to call hospice? What services are provided for me and my family? Who pays for it? These are just a few of the questions that will be discussed at this informal workshop led by Hospice expert and Wellness Community Co- Founder Beth Kin. Hospice can be a scary topic to consider, but learning about it can demystify it and increase your sense of control. Learning about hospice is not giving up....it is about finding hope for one's final journey---whenever that may be.
