Better Together Ep 24: When Hospice Enters the Conversation w/ Christy Henderson & Susie Wagner

When the word “hospice” is first mentioned, it can bring a wave of emotions — fear, uncertainty, relief, and sometimes even guilt. In this episode of Better Together, Christy Henderson, Referral Specialist, and Susie Wagner, Admissions RN, walk us through what really happens when hospice enters the conversation. From that first referral call to the initial admission visit, they share what families are often feeling, the questions they ask most, and the misconceptions that can cause hesitation. More importantly, they explain what families actually experience during those first steps — and how hospice is designed to support, not overwhelm. If you or someone you love is navigating serious illness, this conversation offers clarity, reassurance, and insight into one of life’s most important transitions.
