In this episode, guest Mike George invites us to rethink what hospice really means. He shares his personal journey into the field and breaks down common misconceptions, reminding us that hospice is less about death and more about living well to the very end. The conversation explores the benefits of getting hospice involved early, the deeply personalized care patients receive, and the vital role caregivers play. Mike also highlights the emotional and spiritual support offered, the importance of celebrating life’s moments, and the power of real stories from hospice experiences. Plus, we shine a light on the incredible contributions of volunteers and share resources to help families find the support they need—encouraging everyone to consider hospice not as a last resort, but as a pathway to dignity, comfort, and connection.
