According to national surveys Americans are looking for a better way to die. The majority of Americans today die in hospitals even though they say they want to die at home.
People die in pain, alone, and feeling as though they are a burden on their families.
The dying process in our country today exacts a greater toll on individuals, families, caregivers and communities than ever before. Hospice of Summa and Hospice of Visiting Nurse Service, in an effort to make this national study of death and dying relevant and meaningful to our local community are working together to promote an educational program that will increase public awareness regarding the needs of those living while dying.
