Who Qualifies
To qualify, a person must be at or approaching the end stage of his disease process and finding options increasingly limited. Most PEP clients are in or approaching the final stages of:
- Cancer
- Dementia
- HIV
- ALS
- MS
- Stroke
- General decline
- Heart disease
- Pulmonary disease
- Liver or renal disease
Marked decline in functional ability and disease related hospitalizations in the past year are further indicators that an individual is ready for PEP. In addition, they and their families must express interest in exploring all options for addressing their quality of life.
