Description:
It is not uncommon for hospice patients and their families to travel, taking them out of a hospice's service area for a temporary period of time. It is important that both the HOME hospice and the TRAVEL hospice understand their respective responsibilities to assure a safe and well coordinated trip. This program provides valuable information for all involved in the process: both hospices, the patient and their families.
