Like when there are plenty of tables open at a restaurant, but you have to wait an hour because they don’t have enough servers.

The beginning of a calendar year is the traditional time when many hospices start thinking about how they will boost referrals and meet year-end goals. Imagine being able to change one little aspect of your business and rapidly boosting your brand value, memorability, and the effectiveness of all your other advertising.

Pallimed

JANUARY 3, 2022

Even for people who work there, it is sometimes surreal to approach the building in its beauty with the dissonant knowledge of what can happen in all manner of disease in between the walls.

Hospice for ALS Patients. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, ALS, is also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Though not as common as some other diseases, it still accounts for approximately 6,000 new diagnoses per year in the US. As there is no cure for it, once symptoms have progressed into late stages, hospice care for ALS is the best option to maintain patient comfort.

Renee Kinder. 2022 is here. Can you believe it? Just today I had a colleague ask me, with a smile, “What is your resolution?”. I thought and tried to come up with something clever…. “Honestly, I have got nothing, haven’t even thought about it.”. “I got my kids back in school this week, does that count?”. “Clear out the 16,329 emails in my in box? I probably should!”.

"Kinship care" is a popular term often used in reference to caregiving performed by a family member. I believe non-relatives who serve as committed caregivers during illness should also be included in the kinship care definition and treated as such. This story from my personal experience is one example of many that explains why. Back in the 70's, the HIV-AIDS virus evolved into an epidemic/pandemic in LGBTQ communities.
