Show Notes

Conversations about end-of-life care can be tender and emotional—and nobody should have to navigate them alone. In this deeply moving episode, we explore how compassionate support, clear communication, and thoughtful planning can transform the experience for patients and their loved ones.

James Johnson, a dedicated hospice social worker from Multicare Home Health and Hospice in Tacoma, Washington, shares what it truly means to walk alongside individuals during their final days. Through his role, he empowers patients to communicate their values and preferences, ensuring their voices guide every aspect of care. Acting as a connector between patients, caregivers, and medical providers, he works to build trust and alignment so that quality of life remains front and center.

Listen as he shares powerful stories from the field—moments of courage, vulnerability, and connection—and discover how end-of-life care, when done with intention, can offer peace, and dignity.
