Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dame Cicely Saunders help found the hospice movement in England in the 1960s and Elizabeth Kübler Ross wrote the popular book On Death and Dying and testified in favor of home care for the terminally ill in front of Congress. Both are widely known and credited for their work in hospice. Another valid choice is Florence Wald, who as Dean of the Yale University School of Nursing invited Dame Saunders to visit, although Wald is not as commonly known. Wald also helped integrate the British hospice movement into the first home care hospice in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1974.
