ABSTRACT
The birth of hospice in the United States was fostered by the work of Florence Wald, former Dean of the Yale School of Nursing. Her activities are emblematic of the dedication of many other hospice volunteers who made hospice a reality in the United States. Nurturer, humanitarian and visionary, we salute Florence Wald and the many others who have contributed to the change in how end-of-life care is rendered in the United States. Congratulations and well done. [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-342-9678.
