Choose Life… “Caring for the sick, frail,
elderly and dying patient is a noble endeavor. Our future generations will use as a
measure of civilization how well our society cared for the elderly and dying, how we
protected our elders’ rights and dignity, and, finally, how well we strove every day
to enhance their care.”
