Episode: Episode 23: A talk with Ashley Gower who is a Registered Nurse and Director of Hospice at Hospice of the Cherokee in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
Description: Therefore, Ashley’s team is there to help the patient and family as they struggle to adjust to the reality they’re facing. Their primary responsibility is to the patient and making sure their wishes are honored. These wishes aren’t always in accordance with the family’s wishes. They must maintain a focus on the patient’s preferences and respecting their autonomy while at the same time supporting the family as they navigate a process they have likely never been through before.
