We would like to welcome you to our presentation on hospice care. • Over the past semester, we have researched Hospice Alliance and the referral process of health care providers as well as the general public view about hospice care. • We created surveys, conducted interviews, and researched marketing strategies. • Our overall focus: Hospice Alliance, Inc.

Objectives • Conduct interviews/surveys for two separate audience groups • Referring providers (doctors, nurses, social workers), and the general public • These questions provided a view about hospice care from the general public which was very helpful and informed our recommendations • Before going into further detail about our project, we would all like to thank Rachel Waller for her time and cooperation
