Orthodox Jewish Patients
Because Orthodox Jewish patients look to Jewish law (Halakha) and tradition for guidance and answers regarding hospice care, Metropolitan Jewish Hospice created the Halachic Pathway that enables Orthodox Jewish patients to sign a Halachic Living Will if they so choose. Patients who choose the Halachic Pathway elect to have their care directed by a Halachic advisor in collaboration with their physician and Hospice’s medical director.
