More than 40 percent of Americans now die in hospice care, and a vast industry has sprung up to meet the growing demand. Once viewed with suspicion as a New Age indulgence or fringe religious practice, hospice is now a $10 billion a year business and arguably the most successful segment of American health care. In Changing the Way We Die, award-winning journalists Sheila Himmel and Fran Smith capture this wave and what it means to Boomers. It tells the stories of patients, caregivers, and cutting-edge researchers, as well as the corporate giants that increasingly own this market. Himmel and Smith examine the remarkable shift in practices around dying and look at the changes ahead if profits replace a dying-well philosophy.
