Statement of the Society for Adolescent Medicine Regarding the Unanimous Favorable Recommendation Made by the FDA Advisory Committee for Boostrix(TM )

The Society publishes and disseminates scholarly
information related to adolescent health through its peer-reviewed monthly
Journal of Adolescent Health.
Our response -- who better than hospice to support a family in crisis and
conflict over end-of-life decision making? Who better than hospice to provide
comfort care to Terri and her family? Who better to provide support for a
community , a nation, torn apart by differing beliefs about this tragic
situation? Who better than hospice to educate people about the body's
response to withdrawal of life-sustaining medical treatments? Who better than
hospice to minister to Terri, her family, her caregivers and all of us as we
experience anticipatory grief over the loss of Terri's life?
Hospice's role is always, to honor, to the extent possible, the patient's
and families' wishes.
Every day families across the country face difficult end-of-life
decisions, many with the support of hospice.com.

, Over the past week many people
have asked -- "why is hospice caring for Terri Schiavo?" "Terri isn't
terminally ill," "Terri doesn't have cancer," "Terri has been in the hospice
facility for too long," are just some of the variations on the question of
"why hospice" that we have heard. Hospice of Virginia moves confidently into the future
with its exceptionally well-qualified staff of professionals and its army of
volunteers. As a preferred referral choice to families across the region,
the secret of Hospice of Virginia's success is its ability to work with
community hospitals, physicians, nursing homes, group homes and other
assisted-living facilities to become an integral part of their medical
practice.
