[Missouri-l] Tonight's Books And Beyond

[Nancy Lynn]

How do we prepare for life's end? It is a question we will all face someday 
for ourselves and  those we love.  Many hospices exist today to help 
families through a most painful process.  At a time of intense emotion and 
great sadness, how does one sift through possible options and choose the one 
that will best suit his or her  needs at such a critical time? Are hospice 
services all the same? What red flags should one look for in making this 
choice? Do they provide care or emotional support for family too? How long 
can they be involved? Does involvement with Hospice mean death is emminent? 
What are the myths of hospice?
Tonight Kasey Rippel will answer these and many other questions. She will 
share stories of memorable patients who have helped make her  job in 
provider relations  for Hospice of Tuscarwas, Stark,  and Carroll Counties 
here in Ohio such a rewarding experience.
Raised in Eastern Tennessee, Kasey has worked in Hospice for the past five 
years. In her job in provider relations, she works   in  marketing, public 
relations and financial development for existing and future programs, in her 
agency. Kasey has an associate degree in chemical technology and a bachelor 
degree in Health Science and Chemistry.
Join us for a discussion of a painful part of life that can be eased by 
those who work in a field that has  come to mean much to many families in 
recent years.
The show will begin airing tomorrow morning at 1 hour UTC or tonight at 9pm 
eastern time over www.ACBRadio.org on the mainstream channel. This topic was 
so important that we felt it necessary to do a second show, and you will 
hear that next week. As we always say, you never know whom you'll meet or 
what you'll learn on Books And Beyond.
