In this podcast we have a conversation with Dr Patrick Edwards and Nurse Anna Sciarrotta who work with the Wesley Life Hospice. We talk about what criteria is used to determine how someone should be admitted into the hospice program and dispel the myth that if someone goes into hospice that it means that they will be passing away in a month to two weeks. From personal experience I know that my sister Deb has been in hospice with Parkinson's Disease for over 6 months and she continues to hang in there with the help of the care of the hospice program. If you'd like more info on hospice call 515-271-6777.
