Episode 73: Florence Wald's early years and the state of care for the terminally ill in the 1930s The Hospice Chaplaincy Show with Saul Ebema

In Latin, the word hospice means to host a guest or stranger; Florence Wald, centered her life on hosting a dignified end of life process that honored the patient’s personhood. Her ideas around death and dying led to the formation of the first modern hospice in the United States in 1974. Because of her, there are thousands of hospice programs around the country- serving millions of patients and families.
