Dear Colleagues,
According to the CDC, cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. At some point, most health care providers will be called upon to work with cancer patients or family members who are dealing with the multitude of emotional and medical issues associated with the diagnosis and treatment of this life-threatening illness. Today's newsletter provides resources on the medical and psychological aspects of this disease.

7. PARTNERSHIP FOR CARING
Hospice
The most common concerns people express are fear of becoming a burden to others, loss of control, loss of dignity and choice, finding meaning in their lives, spiritual concerns — in short, not necessarily the physical component of dying but the psychosocial component.
