Everyone has a story. We can all look back on our lives and break them down into "chapters." The same holds true for patients with a life limiting illness who are living out - or thinking about - their last chapter. The Jewish Healthcare Foundation (JHF) and WQED are proud to present The Last Chapter, a one hour documentary taking viewers inside the hospital, hospice, homes and lives of palliative and hospice care recipients and providers. Medical, ethical, practical and spiritual issues are explored from several different perspectives as we discover how patients seeking palliative and hospice care are taking an active role in their own End of Life planning; making decisions about their treatment and telling care providers what they need.
The Last Chapter aired on Jun 30, 2011 on WQED.
