The Case of Terry Schiavo

The issues surrounding the Terry Schiavo case

have brought hospice care into the public spotlight,

and may have raised many questions in your own mind.

For example, is this case typical of hospice care and of end-of-life dilemmas?

Hospice Foundation of America has devoted 23 years

to understanding and helping to shape

the moral / ethical / clinical issues

in helping people to die well.

To focus attention on these issues,

to clarify the role that hospice has played in the Schiavo case,

and to foster greater understanding

among consumers and health care professionals,

HFA has developed and organized

a variety of useful Web-based information.
