Ladies Home Journal follows a Hospice Nurse

Ladies Home Journal follows a hospice nurse from Gilchrist Hospice in an amazing article in the July 2012 issue, "It Doesn't Have to be Sad: The Life of a Hospice Nurse."

Do not miss the photo essay linked in the article, http://www.lhj.com/community/your-stories/hospice-nurse/.

Thank you to Gilchrist Hospice for representing the field so well! Gilchrist is a Circle of Life Award winner - that's what drew attention to the work they are doing. NHPCO communications team also worked with the journalist on this piece as well and are pleased to see awareness about hospice care in such an important publication with a wide reach.
