Meaning and Compassion in Death and Dying: Remarks from a Hospice Director

In this show, we are going to be joined by Deanna Heath, the Executive Director of Woodland Hospice in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. Deanna will discuss the nature of hospice care, how her role has hospice director contributes to the meaning within her life, and what brought her into the field. On a broader level, and to connect to previous shows, we will discuss how to find meaning in one’s illness. Is this possible? How is it done? How do hospice workers strive to accomplish this goal (if at all)?
