What People Really Say Before They Die

Ever wondered what people actually say in their final moments? Hospice nurses spill the tea: most last words are all about love, regrets, or sweet memories. Some people see loved ones who’ve passed, others crack a joke (Oscar Wilde, anyone?), and a few just say thanks or quietly squeeze a hand. Turns out, at the end, it’s all about connection, closure, and sometimes a little humor. Kinda makes you want to call your mom, right? #LifeLessons #FinalWords #HospiceCare #HumanConnection #WatercoolerMoment #Health

How Palliative Care Pays Off (Literally)

Turns out, palliative care isn’t just the right thing for patients—it can actually pay for itself! Only a handful of states cover community-based palliative care under Medicaid, but places like YoloCares in California proved that investing in these programs leads to more patients transitioning to hospice (which covers costs). Grants and managed care contracts help too, but it’s all about focusing on quality care first. More states are jumping on board, so watch this space! #PalliativeCare #Medicaid #HealthcareInnovation #HospiceCare #PatientFirst #Health
