    This episode was a random add on as I was researching some information on upcoming episodes I would like to discuss. I came across Palliative Care & Hospice Education Training Act (PCHETA). This act was just reinstated and I am hopeful it will get passed. This will help to bring awareness, training and education to healthcare providers on hospice and palliative care.  I also then stumbled on a website Stop PCHETA: Senate palliative care bill | Personhood Alliance.  Here is where I found some hurtful & discouraging words in regardless to Hospice and Palliative Care. I encourage and would hope that everyone does their own research on things to follow understand.
