Hospice care is provided to a cross section of the population. In recent years, our population has faced unemployment, lost homes, increased violence, prescription drug abuse and mental health issues. These stressors, combined with the needs of the dying, present unprecedented challenges to patients and families as well as to hospice team members. Hospices must utilize all of their resources, and the resources of the community, to address the needs of their patients while ensuring the safety and emotional resiliency of their staff. This presentation will look at a large urban hospice’s response to these challenges, from assessment to intervention, while providing quality end of life care to high risk populations.
