Counseling Patients and Families on Forgoing Life Prolonging Therapy

Hospice and palliative care professionals specialize in counseling patients and families on continuing or forgoing life prolonging medical interventions, especially as those therapies become increasingly burdensome and impair quality of life, making hospice a reasonable alternative. While these conversations are often considered “difficult,” they are critical to providing patients and families education and support that empower them to choose care that aligns with their wishes from an informed perspective.

Join Kate Sims, RN, MBA, and Joseph Sacco, MD, BFM, ACQ-HPM from The Connecticut Hospice, the first hospice program in the United States, as they highlight effective and empathetic communication strategies using real-word examples.
