The New York Times recently published an insightful new article on palliative carethat offers a glimpse into the challenges facing those working in this field. With the recent flurry of political debate over end-of-life issues stemming from new healthcare legislation and the spectre of so-called “death panels,” this article couldn’t be more timely. Palliative care providers play an incredibly important role in addressing and assuaging the pain of both ailing patients and their loved ones.
Next Spring Templeton Press will be publishing a new book by Christina Puchalski and Betty Ferrell tentatively called Improving the Quality of Spiritual Care in Palliative Care. Our hope is that it will be a new resource to help these palliative care providers better comfort to those who are suffering.
