San Diego Hospice

"Hospice is an experience . . . and does not lend itself easily to words.

Hospice is the artistry and challenge in molding Chinese medical theory and application to the situation and circumstance that awaits in any given room.

My service at Hospice is to help the dying and the grieving through their transition on a journey that we all must make. Hospice provides an opportunity for the practitioner-patient relationship to transcend into a rich human experience, moment by moment with clarity, awareness and compassion.

My experience at hospice has reinforced my understanding of the depth and power of acupuncture. I have used acupuncture alone to completely eliminate phantom leg pain, repeatedly seen medications become more effective following application of the NADA auricular protocol, and utilized this medicine to anchor and transform families struggling with rapidly changing circumstances. I have provided partner-acupuncture treatments to unite the Qi and emotions of the living with the dying and help facilitate the transition from this life. Time and time again, I have witnessed Chinese medicine shine at Hospice, providing me with an inner confidence to share with all.

I am fortunate to have completed two rotations at hospice and am grateful for the experiences and skills that will help light my path. Pacific College has created a very special and unique opportunity for students to work in a truly integrative setting at a state-of-the-art palliative care medical facility.

PCOM interns, step up to the challenge, the opportunity and the gift that awaits you at San Diego Hospice. Lessons in life and living, as well as death and dying await those courageous enough to look within themselves and make this journey."
