People of faith are uniquely positioned to talk to their communities about end-of-life care and options. Faith leaders have been at the forefront of educating, advocating and empowering people from all walks of life to prepare for the end of life. 

As faith leaders, knowing how to talk about options ranging from pre-death planning to hospice to medical aid in dying will provide a framework for improving the lives of your community.
