Residential hospice homes provide compassionate caregiving support for the dying. My guest Susan Hearn is talking about how she is moved and motivated by her work as executive director of a hospice home, and why she stays in this industry.
Susan has a passion for serving hospice and palliative care patients and families and has been a pioneer in developing hospice programs throughout Oregon since 1993 when she helped to establish the Asante Hospice in Southern Oregon. Susan went on to pioneer a residential hospice model in Oregon, leading the way with both fundraising and the full building and policy development of Celia's House in Medford, Oregon and Hopewell House in Portland. She is motivated to give patients and their caregivers a greater voice in their end-of-life experience and in facilitating meaningful advanced care planning conversations between patients and families.
