Voices of Hospice Leadership Podcast

What happens to patients who are seriously ill but aren't ready or eligible for hospice?

In this episode of The Voices of Hospice Leadership Podcast, Brian Frantz speaks with Dr. Jill Schwartz-Chevlin, Chief Medical Officer at Vynca, about the growing importance of community-based palliative care and its role in supporting patients earlier in their serious illness journey.

Dr. Schwartz-Chevlin explains the difference between palliative care and hospice, why patients can benefit from palliative services while continuing medical treatment, and how interdisciplinary care teams help patients remain comfortable, informed, and supported at home.

The conversation also explores the challenges of repeated hospitalizations, the importance of understanding patient goals, and what hospice leaders should know about developing or partnering with palliative care programs.

Topics include:

• Palliative care vs. hospice: Understanding the differences
• When patients should begin receiving palliative care
• Supporting patients with complex chronic conditions
• Preventing avoidable emergency room visits and hospitalizations
• Helping patients and families make informed care decisions
• Essential components of community-based palliative care programs
• Expanding access to serious illness care

One of the most important takeaways from this conversation is the need to keep asking patients what matters most to them, even as their medical needs change.

Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Schwartz-Chevlin's perspective on improving quality of life and creating a better continuum of care for people living with serious illness.

What happens when a hospice stops trying to “sell hospice” and focuses instead on education, resources, relationships, and being a good steward of its community?

In this episode of The Voices of Hospice Leadership Podcast, Brian Frantz talks with Jaime Wasden-Ryum, founder of Mountain View Hospice in Arizona.

Jaime shares her journey from ER and trauma nursing into hospice and explains the philosophy that now shapes Mountain View Hospice.

The conversation covers Jaime’s concept of “The New Norm,” the physical, cognitive, and caregiving changes families may encounter when a loved one returns home after a hospitalization, rehab stay, or skilled nursing stay.

You’ll also hear about Mountain View Hospice’s Resource program, Dementia Friendly communities, Memory Cafés, caregiver support, hospice eligibility misconceptions, staff education, and what hospice actually provides.

Then the conversation turns to growth.

Jaime explains why Mountain View Hospice does not rely on traditional hospice marketers and why she believes hospice should be educated, not sold. She also shares how Google reviews have become the organization’s number one referral source and how families have even discovered Mountain View Hospice through TikTok.

This episode is a practical look at what can happen when a hospice focuses on helping first, educating consistently, delivering excellent care, and allowing trust to drive growth.

Topics Include:

• The “New Norm” after hospitalization or rehab
• The first 48 hours after discharge
• Community resource navigation
• Dementia Friendly communities
• Memory Cafés
• Caregiver grief and isolation
• When to start talking about hospice
• What supplemental hospice care means
• Hospice staff education
• Community-first hospice marketing
• Google reviews and online reputation
• Social media and TikTok referrals
• Building trust before asking for the referral

Helen Bauer joins The Voices Of Hospice Leadership Podcast for a powerful conversation on compassion fatigue, professional boundaries, staff support, and what better hospice care really requires.

Helen is a hospice nurse, end-of-life educator, advocate, founder of Hospice Navigation Services, and host of The Heart Of Hospice Podcast. With more than 16 years in hospice care, Helen brings a thoughtful and practical perspective on the emotional weight carried by hospice workers and the responsibility leaders have to protect their teams.

In this episode, Helen and Brian discuss why hospice workers are often disenfranchised grievers, how compassion fatigue and moral fatigue differ from burnout, and why professional boundaries matter for patients, families, staff, and agencies.

Helen also shares practical “atomic self-care” strategies for field staff, including small daily rituals that help hospice workers reset between visits. The conversation also explores leadership culture, staff retention, communication, caseload management, and what families should expect from a good hospice provider.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• What hospice care really means

Why This Episode Matters for Hospice Leaders

When families hesitate, your census suffers. In this episode, you’ll learn practical language and field-tested frameworks to move families from fear to clarity, earn clinician buy-in, and empower your team to follow through without getting “salesy.”

What You’ll Learn (At A Glance)

• Eligibility Vs. Readiness: How to guide families without pressure
• The “Hospice Bank Account” Analogy: A simple way to explain the Medicare benefit
• Demystifying Meds: Reframing morphine myths into quality days
• Clinician Education That Works: Micro-trainings and data points that earn buy-in
• Leadership & Growth: “Trust but verify,” ride-alongs, and operational follow-through

Episode Highlights & Takeaways

Understand Eligibility Vs. Readiness In Hospice Admissions

Families often say “We’re not ready.” Samuel shows you how to separate readiness (emotional) from eligibility (clinical) using questions, checklists, and empathetic phrasing so decisions feel confident, not coerced.

Use The Medicare “Hospice Bank Account” To Educate Families

Explain that the hospice benefit is something families have already paid into. This bank-account analogy makes coverage, DME, and supplies easy to grasp and reduces cost anxiety.

Replace fear-driven narratives with a clear plan for comfort and goals (e.g., attending a reunion, one last fishing trip). Families remember outcomes, not jargon.

Win Clinician Buy-In With Data And Follow-Up

Short, focused lunch-and-learns, readmission impact, and timely feedback loops help physicians and NPs recognize hospice-eligible patterns sooner and refer with confidence.

Lead Field Marketing with Trust and Accountability

“Trust but verify” your marketers. Ride along, remove operational blockers, and keep promises (equipment, supplies, weekend availability). Empowered teams deliver better experiences and more qualified referrals.
