Death And Dying: Expanding Palliative Care
By MIKE SHIELDS • JUL 10, 2015
Editor’s note: On Wednesday, Medicare, announced that it would reimburse doctors for end-of-life counseling. It’s part of an emerging conversation about end-of-life issues and the policy changes needed to give people more control over what happens to them in their final days. This three-part series of stories by KHI News Service, and a video produced in partnership with Kansas City public television station KCPT, is about that conversation and the role that experts at two regional institutions are playing in it. The first story in the series focuses on efforts to encourage end-of-life discussions and the thirdon the push to enact state laws allowing terminally ill patients to receive a doctor’s aid in dying.
