Local experts say number of people using hospices has decreased despite benefits
Virginia News, by Emaryi Williams; 1/8/24
According to a recent report by American Health Rankings, Virginia placed 30th nationally in deceased medicare patients who used hospice care, even though it was 17th nationally for senior health care. Local experts say they are seeing fewer opting for hospice care and are concerned about what it means for members of our community and their families who may need it.
