Patients, families, physicians and other clinicians are afraid of the "H word." Hospice got a bad rap and clinicians seem to get tongue tied when it is time to talk about it. But it doesn't have to be scary or depressing and it definitely shouldn't be seen as shameful or hope-stealing.

In today's episode of The Integrative Palliative Podcast you will learn to speak confidently about hospice to your patients with serious illness so that it becomes a service that they want rather than a conversation that they (and you) dread.

If you'd like to learn tools to care effectively for your patients with serious or complex illness, sign up at www.integrativepalliative.com.

Thanks for listening!
