Reaching Out to Underserved Populations
Although the number of people seeking hospice care has increased in each of the last few years, there are still too many people who would benefit from but don’t receive those services. In “Reaching Out to Underserved Populations” we’ll show you how a hospice in Pittsburgh is working to improve access to care by African Americans, a hospice in San Antonio that has a program tailored to the needs of veterans, and a hospice in northwest Arkansas struggling to keep up with the demands of a fast-growing community. See other Hospice Information Center videos.
