Coping with Cancer at the End of Life

HFA's newest online tutorial focuses on "Coping with Cancer at the End of Life." When cancer treatment becomes ineffective, patients and families face highly emotional and very difficult decisions. This program discusses the impact that terminal cancer has on both the person with cancer and those closest to him or her. Free Continuing Education Credits (CEs) are available for this program and others at the Hospice Information Center.

Hospice Foundation of America's Hospice Information Center offers a range of online resources for families, friends and professionals. This centralized resource is funded by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and can be found on HFA's website at http://www.hospicefoundation.org/infocenter.
