Hospice trends in the United States

Cancer myth: It is a common misconception that one must have a cancer diagnosis to receive hospice care or that most hospice patients have cancer. Many people would be surprised to learn that nationally, non-cancer diagnoses in 2009 represented 60 percent of all hospice admissions. Although cancer makes up the single most common primary diagnosis, non-cancer diagnoses include heart disease, dementia, lung disease, stroke or coma, and kidney disease.

The sad state of our heart

There are few diseases we are winning the war on today. Most diseases are rising at an alarming rate, costing consumers billions of dollars annually. One of the worst is cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Association displays some pretty distressing statistics: Previous to 2003, three in 1,000 men between the ages of 35-44 were diagnosed with cardiovascular disease (CVD). In 2006 it was 77 per 1,000. The Framington Heart Study done between 1980-2003 concluded that the risk for CVD was two in every three men and more than one in every two women at age forty. 2009 estimates 80 million people (one in three) have one or more types of cardiovascular diseases. Costs for CVD in the U.S. alone in 2009 was $475.3 billion! Contrast that with cancer, which ran $228 billion for the same year. Both out of control, both very sad statistics. CVD is a financial and emotional burden for families and taxpayers alike.

Menopause: Faces on fire

“Wow, my face is on fire!” Menopause or perimenopause — hot flashes, sweats, moodiness, rapid heart beat and alternating hot and cold feelings — are no fun. If it was just feeling hot, that would be one thing. We all get too hot at various times of our lives. But hot flashes are different. Many times they are also associated with feeling sick or flu-like just before the onset. It is generally localized and intense in the face, chest or even legs, and it’s difficult to cool down.
