Sundays at 4 PM beginning February 4 on Channel 8

PROGRAM I: Living with Dying
Focuses on people-patients and caregivers-who are searching for ways to recognize and talk about dying as more than a medical event. It is a part of life that each individual, in every American community, approaches with different attitudes, beliefs and wishes.
PROGRAM II: A Different Kind of Care
Examines the evolution of a new kind of care commonly referred to as "palliative care." Leaders in this movement emphasize a full spectrum of pain management, symptom relief and support including physical, psychological and spiritual care.
PROGRAM III: A Death of One's Own
To many, dying well means a measure of control over how we die. We fear dying in pain; we fear that too much will be done to keep us alive, or we fear that not enough will be done. This program looks at issues surrounding efforts to control how we die-including physician-assisted suicide-and the implications for family, institutions and communities.
PROGRAM IV: A Time to Change
Follows crusading individuals who are working to change public policy to improve care of the dying. They are creating models for change that deal with issues including insurance coverage, medical training, and support and relief for families who are shouldering the burden of caregiving when a loved one is dying.
