Fortunately, once members of the interdisciplinary team addressed her pain and symptoms, they also helped her resume some of the activities she had enjoyed - like this afternoon of fishing. Our thanks to the hospice for submitting this photograph to NHPCO's 2013 Creative Arts Contest, which was taken by community relations coordinator, Tiffany Brothers.
