Penny Davis Shares Heartwarming Stories About Hospice Work in New Book, PJ'S, PEARLS, AND FISHING POLES
As a little girl, Penny Davis helped her grandmother care for an ailing neighbor during a hot summer - one of a network of neighborly volunteers who helped care for the gravely ill woman. Although that act took place long before hospice became recognized as a level of care, it inspired Davis, who spent 45 years in health care herself. Her new book explores the world of hospice care, sharing stories from hospice team members, patients and their families as examples of love, wisdom, humor, friendship, resilience, compassion and courage.
