"Our goal is to empower all adults to take the initiative to
talk to their doctor about what matters most to them at life's end. Our
research has shown that while almost all doctors agree that it is important for
them to have end-of-life conversations with their patients, most doctors
struggle with these conversations. Our research has also shown that patients
from all ethnic backgrounds agree that it is important for them to have end of
life conversations with their doctors. However, patients do not quite know how
to initiate these conversations.
The Letter Project will help you write a letter to your
doctor using a simple template. The template is based on extensive research and
is specifically designed to help you voice the key information your doctor
needs in order to provide end-of-life care to you that is congruent with your
values and wishes.
Use our letter template, write your letter, print it and
discuss it with your family and your doctor. The letter template is available
in several languages. Many people have already written their letter. Write your letter now!"
