Welcome to the Aetna Compassionate Care Program. We want to help you better understand the issues, choices and terms related to advanced illness.

The site includes:

• Information about care that is focused on quality of life, comfort and support
• Advance planning tools
• Tips on how to talk to loved one about your illness
• Advance directive forms and living wills
• Resources for caregivers

You'll find information to help you understand your options. And you can learn how to exercise control over your experiences during the coming weeks and months.

This program flyer explains the services available to Aetna members. This story, about case managers, shows how these professionals provide valuable information about services and options.

Everyone wants to be treated with dignity, respect and compassion when dealing with a life-threatening illness. We hope this site helps you with those goals. As always, your feedback is welcome.
