Another Way
Another Way: Hospices of Marquette County explores the options
available to patients faced with terminal illnesses who choose to spend
their remaining time in the comforts of their own homes. It covers the
introduction of the world’s first recognized modern hospice by a London
physician, the journey of this new concept across the world, and to
Marquette County, Michigan.
Through contributions from nineteen local residents including
physicians, nurses, social workers, volunteers and other members of the
hospice team, the author introduces personal stories, the challenges of
terminal illnesses, and the heroes who respond to need. It is not so much
about dying, but rather about living every day of life to its fullest.
The theory described in "Another Way" transcends beyond Marquette County and can be applied to most any place in the United States.
