Line One: Hospice Care

Mon, Apr 27, 2009

Hospice is not a place,  but a concept of care designed to provide comfort and support to patients and their families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments. Eighty percent of hospice care is provided in the patient’s home, family member’s home and in nursing homes. At Amedisys Hospice in Anchorage,  Buddhist ordained, Chaplain Diane Johnson incorporates aromatherapy and guided meditation with her patients. Today she joins Dr. Woodard on Line One, along with Hospice Medical Director, Dr. Sergei Bogojavlensky, and hospice RN, Crystal Walker.
