First a little about me. I have nearly 20 years of healthcare marketing experience. I have marketed ice packs to heart valves, but the common theme is that all of the products and services have helped improve people’s quality of life.

I thought that was over when I started working at Arbor Hospice, but I soon learned I was very wrong.

Unless you have had a hospice experience - meaning you have had a loved one receive hospice care and not a near death experience - most folks don’t understand hospice.

Hospice is a choice about how you want to live out the time you have.

That is why I want to reach out to you through this blog. I want to help you and your family truly benefit from hospice care. Please send me your questions, comments and feedback.
