title: Expressive puppetry in hospice care.
abstract: As treatments for cancers and other illnesses continue to improve, hospices must develop their programs to serve those with chronic illnesses in order to continue to be relevant in end-of-life care. One hospice has found a modality, called Expressive Puppetry, to improve the quality of life for many dementia patients.
