Hospice Radio is a one-hour interview-based program featuring topics and international experts in the fields of aging and end-of-life care. Producer and host, Dr. Zoë A. Lewis, is a recognized Internist and Hospice and Palliative Care physician, author, speaker and education activist for Alzheimer’s disease and care. This program was created to benefit anyone, anywhere interested in the services provided by hospice, palliative care and aging programs. Hospice Radio is the first program of its kind with a physician- specialist as your host. Distinguished guests share their expertise and provide support to individuals, caregivers, and those who work in the fields of aging and end-of-life care. Programs target an international audience and are presented in the way millions worldwide are choosing to get up-to-date, relevant information today – a radio talk show. UPCOMING BROADCASTS 2009: “Partners in Care from South Africa”, with feature guests from the Hospice and Palliative Care Association of South Africa. We will discuss the HIV/Aids Pandemic and the work of international hospice efforts. This was a recent topic profiled on the News Hour with Jim Lehrer. June programs - “Medical Ethics and the “Concept of a Good Death” Part One and Part Two. This topic merits two one- hour shows – and covers significant ground with international experts in medical ethics and theology. Guests will examine what care givers and family members need to consider for aging parents, for ourselves, and for other loved ones we care for. Arguments and issues will be presented on the current standards in medical ethics with a view to world religion doctrines as they may apply. We will delve into the concerns for those who cannot make informed consent and how this has sparked international conflicts over the ‘right to life’ and ‘right to die’ movements.

Part Two -"Medical Ethics and the Concept of a Good Death.' features Kenneth W. Goodman, Ph.D., co-director of the University of Miami’s Ethics Programs, founder and director of the Bioethics Program and its Pan American Bioethics Initiative and director of the Ethics Programs' World Health Organization Collaborating Center in Ethics and Global Health Policy. My second guest, Kadam Nick Gillespie is the Resident Teacher of Drolma Kadampa Buddhist Center in Fort Lauderdale. He is a senior meditation teacher in the New Kadampa Tradition and has been studying and practicing Buddhist meditation for over 25 years under the guidance of his Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. The topic of religion and medical ethics has sparked such interest, that in order to afford each guest ample time for discussion, I will host faith-based concerns and medical ethics experts individually. I chose to start with Buddhism to be covered in the final segment of Part Two. Sample questions: Describe the field of study in Medical Ethics and the events that have shaped it. Do we have a ‘right’ to die? ( in context of negative right (others may not interfere) and positive right (others must help)) Do we own our own bodies and our lives? If we do own our own bodies, does that give us the right to do whatever we want with them? Discuss the Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act. Does this protect the right to “a good death”? Physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia, are they needed and if so, are they based in fears of a poor death and suffering? In the Terri Schiavo case, and the Karen Ann Quinlan case, state and federal government got involved with an individual and family private concerns. Can you describe for us the cases and what were the conflicts? Should a dying person be told they are dying to facilitate spiritual teachings? What are the concerns of withholding life support and removing life support? What is the position taken from religious teachings? Kada

Join me and expert guests Dr. Harry Moody from the AARP, author of 'The Soul of Bioethics' and 'Human Values in Aging',newsletters along with Dr.Pamela J. Grace, Associate Professor - Adult Health & Ethics at Boston College, William F. Connell School of Nursing, for the upcoming program, ‘Medical Ethics and the Concept of a Good Death.' This show will be divided into two one-hour programs. Topics for both programs will be drawn from the discipline of medical ethics and will explore the possible goals for people caring for aged parents, people who act as health care guardians, and concerns for the general public considering options regarding their own end-of-life care. This program will be presented in two parts with a second part revisiting the faith-based prerogatives and medical ethics. As we know from the sensational court cases, medical ethics when juxtaposed with religious doctrines can have various interpretations. Part Two will have guests representing the study of medical ethics along with the theological perspective regarding medical ethics in end-of-life care. Sample questions: Should a dying person be told they are dying? Who determines this and under what kinds of circumstances? What is the difference between morally correct decisions and ethical decisions? Who should and 'who does' make decisions for those who can no longer give informed consent? What are the ethical concerns in withholding life support and removing life support? How do we teach caregivers who care for the dying ( or gravely ill) to deal with their own feelings if they are at odds with the family or patient’s requests? When there is a disagreement among family members, who has the authority to mediate? What is the role of a hospital or nursing facility ethics committee? What are the issues regarding euthanasia and physician- assisted suicide? How did the case of Terri Schiavo become a national concern? What have we learned about society and

In January-February 2009 I was in South Africa and since then I have been trying to organize a show with the folks working at the South African Hospice and Palliative Care Association. We met up in Cape Town and planned to do an interview online. We both experienced many delays with their hectic and international work schedule, coupled with my production end failures getting up a decent internet “ click to talk” option for the show. I plan now to do a conference call once all the participants are back in Cape Town and available. In the meanwhile, I am posting some information and invite viewers to continue to standby and be patient. This show is a 15 minute non-interview based format to set up the many historical details for this first of its kind international program, ‘Partners in Healthcare, with the Hospice and Palliative Care Association in South Africa. South Africa is one of the world’s worst epicenters of this ongoing pandemic of HIV/AIDS and the show focuses on what hospices and palliative care efforts are doing to help the crisis. Here are a few 'daily life' photographs taken in South Africa, not all grim. For more coverage on this topic, check the link for the PBS special.

Children are not supposed to die. Yet, an estimated 50,000 American children will die this year from life-limiting illness, while worldwide, over seven million children and their families face this tragedy. Today, less than one percent of children needing hospice care in the United States receive it. Why? Join me and my distinguished guest, Ann Armstrong-Dailey, Founding Director/CEO of Children's Hospice International (CHI), a non-profit organization in Alexandria, Virginia as we discuss hospice services for children. The focus will be on the continuum of care for children and their families from the time that a child is diagnosed with a life-threatening condition — with hope for a cure — through the bereavement process, if cure is not attained. Increased awareness will lead to increased resources for this much needed specialized child care. CHI provides comprehensive programming, education and activism on behalf of children and families. Please visit their website and take the time to look at the “write your representative" link. You too can become proactive on this issue. http://www.chionline.org The devastating impact of a child’s death can often lead to increased incidence of job loss, drug and alcohol abuse, divorce and even emotional disturbances by the survivors. Children's hospice care encourages the families’ participation and thus eases their emotional strain and grief, yet with so few serving the country, families in difficulty have turned elsewhere. Join me and special guest, Dr. Patricia Munhall, a nationally board certified psychoanalyst and psychodynamic therapist (NAAP, AABC, ACAP, ABAP), international lecturer and renowned author, as we discuss the impact on the survivors. http://www.miamitherapy.com/Biog.htm In closing, I will dedicate this program with a message of love and compassion for those who have experienced this tragedy.
