Aaron Housh, CEO of Good Samaritan Hospice, joins us to discuss hospice and advanced illness care. He shares how his organization's operations have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and helps clarify some of the common misconceptions about end-of-life care. We also talk about the internal supports "Good Sam" has in place to care for the emotional well-being of their employees, as well as the different volunteer opportunities available for those who may be interested in assisting individuals and families who are dealing with progressive illness.
