We want to change that statistic.
This is just one of the surprising statistics revealed by a nation-wide survey of
physicians. And that���s why Crossroads Hospice wants to help medical
professionals understand more about hospice and how much patients and
families can benefit. To do that, we���ve sponsored and published a variety of
papers like the one written by Physicians Practice magazine: What Every Doctor
Should Know About Hospice.
