A new ethics publication from the Catholic Health Association to help patients, families and caregivers think about end-of-life decisions. The guide is based on frequently asked questions to help persons make end-of-life decisions and prepare an advance health care directive. CHA developed the guide in collaboration with physicians, nurses, theologians and ethicists within Catholic health care. Although it reflects the perspective of Catholic tradition, the information is helpful to persons from any religious tradition.

The handy design will easily fit into displays and as convenient handouts to patients, families and caregivers in acute care hospitals, long-term care facilities, physician offices, clinics, parishes and community centers.

The book, part of a series of new End-of-Life Guides from CHA, may be used on its own or in combination with companion publications.
