About this Webinar for Healthcare Professionals

This special panel presentation takes participants through a time when the doctor became just a son.

Following the case study of a hospice expert’s personal experience with his father’s end-of-life care, learn about aspects of the Medicare Hospice Benefit for patients and families facing serious illness, strategies for mitigating barriers to productive end-of-life conversations and overcoming obstacles, and the importance of timely palliative and hospice care. The panel will conclude with an impactful moderated discussion.

Discover how hospice isn't about what patients "give up" when transitioning from curative to palliative care—it's about the quality of life they gain.
