Hospice Quinte: Changing Lives Podcast

The Future of Hospice Care

Hospice Quinte Season 4 Episode 10

The development of technology seems to be getting faster and faster every year. Things once thought impossible are now reality. Science fiction is now science fact. The medical field is one area that typically sees a lot of these changes, so how will new methods and technologies impact how we process death?

On this episode of Changing Lives, we’re going to take a look at how the field of hospice palliative care could look in the future.
