The Connecticut Hospice is now engaged in a defense of the high standards for hospice in-patient care which we have practiced and refined for 30 years. Our state has enjoyed the most intensive and effective standards of care under the 1980 health code. As you read the opinions and testimonies which follow, you will see and feel the commitment and passion of our supporters who cannot accept code dilution which will deprive the sick and dying of the best care we can offer them at the bedside where their needs are keenly felt. Joseph F. Andrews, Jr., M.D., Chief Medical Officer
