Care Dimensions' Kaplan House in Massachusetts to be featured on National Public Radio this weekend - April 26-27, 2014.

In February, This American Life producer Nancy Updike spent nine days at Kaplan House interviewing patients, families and following Care Dimensions clinical staff as they cared for patients.

The resulting program, called "Death and Taxes" will air this weekend on April 26 and 27 on Boston radio stations WBUR and WGBH. The program promises to give a glimpse into the world of hospice and end-of-life caregivers.
  Care Dimensions staff were honored to be chosen to participate in this national broadcast heard on 500 stations and by more than two million listeners. We hope it will help educate the public about the vital role of hospice care and demystify the dying process.
The podcast of This American Life will be available for download once the broadcast airs; visit This American Life website.
