   cydney7 replied to cydney7's topic in Hospice

   doodlemom-- Thanks for responding. From what I understand, the census is pretty high. I live in Jackson, Mississippi and they cover 10 counties. It's a busy office from what they told me. They also mentioned the tax break, so I guess that's good. I w...
