Episode: History of Hospice Care
Description: Hospice care has a long history spanning over 1,500 years. Its origins can be traced back to fourth-century Rome when a compassionate woman named Fabiola established a place to care for the sick and dying. This concept of hospice was further embraced by the Catholic Church, which continued to provide care to the poor and sick in hospices throughout the following centuries.
