Hello! My name is Beth Ann Wilson, I am a nurse practitioner recently hired by a hospice to start a palliative care program. The program will basically be me for the time being and I have been developing forms, guidelines etc, in hopes to start taking referrals by 3-15. Any advice and support from someone who has been there and done that would be awesome!

Hello Beth, I am interested in palliative programs within the LTC facility itself. So I am curious as to a program that would be developed by hospice. How would this be different than hospice services. I don't understand how having a palliative care program would be reimburst? I will be interested in following this. Angie
