Upon finding out that, a loved one is terminally ill, a decision would need to be made on the treatment of the end-of- life care they would need. The most common treatment available is hospice.

As CEO of Middle field hospital I believe specific strategies need to be developed in order to improve the financial performance of the hospital.

The Family Center Care (FCC) is an advance to the planning, delivery and evaluation of health care that is founded in the similarities of partnerships among health care providers, patients, and families.

The Family Center Care promotes better outcomes of patient care because families are there to restore self-esteem and control them in a well manner. It leads to better outcomes and it creates better patient and family satisfaction.
