Hospice is an essential option when we think about making choices for personalized care throughout the end of life. The experienced staff of Calvert Hospice will address the many myths surrounding hospice care and explain the referral process for hospice services, the role of the physician during hospice care, and the best time to begin benefiting from the support hospice caregivers can provide. There will be a lengthy opportunity for Q&A to address individual concerns.
