<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 11, 2010) Over the last couple of months, we’ve been airing an occasional series about hospice care in the North Country.

<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 6, 2010) Last week, we began a new on-going series called the Hospice Path.  North Country Public Radio is looking in-depth at the way hospice programs across the region are changing people’s lives at a time when they’re forced to confront the certainty of death.  We’re telling that story in part by spending time with the Gallagher family in Saranac Lake.  Bill Gallagher is 87 years old and his lungs are slowly failing.  But with the help of High Peaks Hospice, he’s been able to stay at home with his wife Tomi.In order to better describe their experience, our reporter Brian Mann decided to first spend some time asking about Bill&apos;s long life before he got sick.
