End-of-Life Issues
A working group of physicians and patient advocates have developed a set of tools that can help patients and families live well with serious illness near the end of life. These educational materials can be used to facilitate conversations between physicians, patients, and their families.
Patient Education and Caring: End-of-Life (PEACE) Series
Brochures are available in print and through this website by clicking below on the particular topic. The patient education materials will help patients and caregivers talk to their doctors about:
- Living with a Serious Illness: Talking with Your Doctor When the Future is Uncertain
- When You Have Pain at the End of Life
- Making Medical Decisions for a Loved One at the End of Life
