Program Description: Serious illness and dying are a part of life. But living with these realities is something everyone wishes they will never have to face. We fear them. We pretend they will never happen to us or to someone we love. But they do. They will. And it is good if we know what to do when it does happen. In this program we will explore how to care for the seriously ill patient from diagnosis to death. There is always a way to care even when we cannot cure.
