Beginning her career at the onset of the AIDS epidemic, Barbara recounts her early days volunteering and working at Kansas' first hospice. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, she highlights the unique approach of hospice care, which prioritizes a sacred and meaningful end-of-life experience over the traditional medical model that often views death as a failure.
