This information sheet answers some of the questions seniors frequently ask about palliative care (sometimes called hospice care).
Palliative care is planned to meet not only physical needs but also the psychological, social, cultural, emotional and spiritual needs of the ill person and his or her family.
Health care providers work with seniors and their families to identify the source of the pain and ways to relieve it.
Palliative care focuses on the person as a whole by offering a wide range of support services to the ill person.
Palliative care is offered in a variety of places --- at home, in long-term facilities, in hospitals, and occasionally in hospices.

The Minister of Finance and the President of Treasury Board, on behalf of the Government, are soliciting submissions from interested groups and individuals on budget issues.
By taking prudent measures, we have accomplished this while ensuring essential public services are protected.
However, our fiscal situation is quite changeable, particularly because of volatility in federal transfer payments and our federally estimated income tax revenues.
shipments (from the strike depressed levels of 1998) and refined petroleum products (from fire related production losses in 1998) also will help economic growth in 1999.
Equalization, paid to us while we do not have the tax base to generate our own revenues at the average level of other provinces, is reduced proportionally as our economy improves.

Legal reform and community mobilization are essential for empowering women to understand and articulate their health needs, and to seek services with confidence and without delay.
When obstetric complications are seen as reflecting the "will of God" or the influence of evil spirits, families often resort to traditional healers and diviners for care, and only take women to a health facility as a last resort --- when it may be too late.

Especially when husbands are away from home, this custom can severely limit women's ability to use even nearby health services.

The objective of this paper is to comprehensively describe the overall aging process in China, identify the causes and the potential extent of the aging problem, and propose corresponding policy choices to solve the problems in rural areas.
In addition to the declining number of children in families and the change in institution, other factors such as the lack of infrastructure, poverty, and labor outflow make the aging problem in rural areas much more serious than that in urban areas.

Since 1998, CHANGE has been working together with colleagues in Peru to expand the reproductive health options available to women.
In recent months, a great deal of attention has been paid to violations of womenís rights to informed choice in the Peruvian health system, with particular emphasis on those that occurred under the administration of former President Alberto Fujimori, resulting from pressures on health workers to achieve high rates of female sterilization, with or without consent.
In this context, CHANGE¥s goal is to strengthen and expand well-informed advocacy, public pressure, and engagement with governments and donors to promote reproductive health and rights in Peru and specifically to dramatically increase access to emergency contraception.

The State Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP) represents a milestone toward the goal of seeing that all children in the United States have access to quality health care.
As a quality reporting tool, the framework provides consumers with meaningful information they can use to make health care decisions.
States are encouraged to help facilitate the development and testing of the adolescent-specific survey instruments by collaborating with FACCT, NCQA and the health plans and providers they contract with to test the emerging measurement instrument.
In addition to providing information to CHIP families about covered benefits, costs and health plan rules, states may want to provide CHIP families with easy-to-use reports that allow them to compare the performance of health plans and providers to make better decisions.

Last month our nation "celebrated" the 30th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the case in which the Supreme Court over-ruled the legislative process of the states, as outlined in the Constitution, and arbitrarily established a legal "right" to end the life of unborn children.
Jerry Webb asked for our prayers on February 9 that he might be a better Christian, husband, and father.
Society requires years of preparation for almost any significant career endeavor, but demands no real preparation for one of the most crucial undertakings in life: marriage.
Much good could be accomplished, excessive taxes could be avoided, and many family heartaches could be prevented, if more Christians would take the simple step of applying the principles of wise stewardship to all of their life, including its end.
