AzPHA Breakfast & Learn:
Dying in America: Care Options at the End of Life
Learning Objectives:
1. Briefly review why dying peacefully in America is often difficult
2. Discuss the care options available at the end of life
3. Provide a more detailed review of Medical Aid in Dying
Tom Fitch, MD, went to medical school at the University of Kansas, completed a residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan, and fellowships in Medical Oncology and Hematology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
He practiced at Mayo Clinic’s Arizona facility for 30 years, where he cared for many patients from time of diagnosis through the end of life. He became convinced that patients with advanced cancers need more open and empathetic communication about their illness and prognosis, better supportive/symptomatic care, and truthful, compassionate, and grace-filled care as they approach the end of life. For those reasons, he became a Hospice and Palliative Medicine physician.
With a wealth of first-hand experience, Dr. Fitch believes medical aid in dying (MAID) is ethical, and should be legally available—with stringent safeguards—to competent adults who find themselves near the end of life due to a terminal illness complicated by unbearable, refractory suffering to use as their last act of free will to die with dignity.
He has joined Arizona End of Life Options to advocate for Arizona to join the other ten states (plus Washington DC) to make MAID a choice in Arizona. He himself has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma and lymphoma. See Dr. Fitch’s Arizona Republic op-ed of 5/20/20: “I’m an oncologist with terminal cancer, and I support medical aid in dying. Here’s why.”

DMSG: Creating The Foundation for Excellence in Governance
Please join us June 8th at 11:30 am MT for a DMSG Webinar presentation with Tommy Thomas PhD, CEO of Opposite Strengths Inc. This presentation is about creating and running a great healthcare system starting at the top with the governing board. In order for the organization to operate at peak performance, the governing board sets the tone and example for creating a culture that attracts and retains top caliber employees.
A key performance indicator for the governing board is how successful they are in collaborating and reaching consensus while valuing different opinions and viewpoints. The governing board is no different from any other department, team, or group in the overall system in that they are composed of an interlocking system of interpersonal relationships. This webinar will examine, explain, and demonstrate the fundamental aspects of a collaborative relationship that preserves the independence and integrity of the individuals involved.
TAKE AWAYS
- Understand your unique way of operating from the same six fundamental psychological strengths that all people possess.
- Discover your natural way of communicating by uncovering which of the four relationship tendencies you use most often in your relationships.
- Increase your own psychological agility so that you can create, develop, and maintain more productive and effective relationships with others.
- Realize at a deep level that the most important function of a governing board is to create a culture in which all stakeholders are able to do personally meaningful work as a valued and trusted member of a world class organization dedicated to achieving a worthwhile cause.
