Surely Jefferson County has visiting nurses, and perhaps hospice care. As strapped for funds as those organizations are, they generally provide care regardless of the patient's ability to pay - which is one reason they're always strapped. I'm sorry to hear Bill Crist may have had a difficult time of it at the end. My dealings with him were always at arm's length and in his official capacities, but he dealt with people with dignity.
