Muslim Community-Engaged Research Highlights Muslim Americans’ End-of-Life Healthcare Gaps and Needs

Few Muslim Americans use hospice care, despite its posited benefits. A multi-sectoral team of academicians and community leaders in southeastern Wisconsin decided to find out why.

The diverse team, including Laila Azam, Ph.D., Renee Foutz, M.D., and Aasim I. Padela, M.D., of the Medical College of Wisconsin; Fozia Ahmed, B.S., Abdul Hafeez, M.D., and Arman Tahir, M.D., of Muslim Community Health Center; and Ismail Quryshi, M.D., of Froedtert Hospital, launched the project, Investigating American Muslim Palliative and Hospice Care Needs, in 2022.

The team’s latest research findings, “Are We Really Speeding Up Death?” Insights About Hospice Care from the American Muslim Community,* presented Nov. 14 at the Medical College of Wisconsin’s 10th Annual Community Engagement Poster Session, used qualitative interviews to explore Milwaukee-area Muslim patients’ and caregivers’ perceptions about and experiences of hospice care in the United States.
