The USC Davis School of Gerontology and the Partners in Care Foundation have published a brochure to offer information about end-of-life care options to the African American community. The brochure features real-life stories and families' experiences with various programs.
The brochure can be downloaded from the Partners in Care website and health and community-based organizations can order a limited number of print copies for free.
Historically, hospice care has not been a choice for many African Americans. HFA examines this history and suggests ways to reach out to African Americans who are making end-of-life decisions in a special report, African Americans and End-of-Life Care. The DVD of this program is available here. Social workers, nurses and counselors can obtain one continuing education credit through the program.
