I am a Hospice/Palliative care Registered Nurse. As our "baby boomers" age, we have a need for basic knowledge in how to know when to consider Palliative and/or Hospice Care. Professionals like myself, a Hospice Nurse has the better knowledge as to the hands on assistance that enrollment in a Palliative Care Program or a Hospice Program can give.
So I believe that you should add Palliative/Hospice/End of Life Issues to both your questions from the general public and the knowledge areas of your professionals.
