The American Hospice Foundation provides education about hospice care and grief management to the public and to clinical professionals in a position to help foster public awareness. Fulfillment of our mission means more patients and families will have the opportunity to choose a "good death" consistent with the goals most people express: to be pain-free, to retain dignity and control, and to have the involvement and support of loved ones. To serve the public at large, the American Hospice Foundation offers on its website (www.americanhospice.org), a variety of free articles, educational booklets, professional training tools, and links to relevant web sites.
