The Landscape of Hospice


My stepdad died in his home early Saturday with this view from the hospital bed. Actually, he faced a birch swaying in the hot breeze out the front window. I like to imagine he could hear the tree, although it's unlikely.  You never know if you might need this information, but Horizon Hospice was exceptional. My have things improved since my dad died at home in 1978 a year before Horizon was around...

I'm so sorry to hear about this loss, Julie. I remember when your father died. Love to you and your family.

Hospice care ranks among the most important developments in health care of the last few decades.
