How do we care for people with serious or terminal illness?

On the next Your Call we'll have a conversation about palliative care and hospice care and the future of these services. In light of the federal health reform bill, what options are there for people to live through potentially fatal illness in a dignified, supported way? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. How do you envision being cared for as you near the end of your life? It's Your Call, with Sandip Roy and you.

Guests:
Dr. Diane Meier, director of the Center to Advance Palliative Care at The Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City

Dr. Steven Pantilat, director of the Palliative Care Program and the Palliative Care Leadership Center at UCSF

Sarah Creed, hospice nurse with Partners HealthCare
