GetPalliativeCare.org is a new palliative care resource created for consumers that also includes sections for medical practitioners and policymakers. This new Web site provides clear, comprehensive palliative care information to patients and families coping with serious, complex illness.

Key components include a palliative care Provider Directory, a definition and detailed description of what palliative care is, a three-step process for obtaining palliative care, direct links to palliative care-related organizations and a brief questionnaire to assist consumers in determining if palliative care is appropriate for them or their loved-ones.

getpalliativecare.org focuses solely on palliative care and strives to foster awareness of the need and appropriateness of palliative care interventions. www.getpalliativecare.org
