Resources
to Share with Patients
and Their Families
As families begin to address sensitive
issues, they need support in a variety of forms. One way you can help as a medical
professional is by providing useful information for patients to review, and by directing
them to other organizations and resources that may be helpful.
The following is a list of resources
that you can make available to your patients and their families when appropriate.
