Dr. Stuart Farber was the founder of the palliative care services at the University of Washington Medical Center and the Palliative Care Training Center.

Stu was known for being a gifted story teller, teacher, healer and artist. He was also a dedicated husband, father and grandfather. Stu encouraged us all to become editors for our patient's stories. He said, "A good editor tells your story for you, a great editor helps you tell your story better."

Stu died shortly before this course was launched and will be greatly missed. His vision for the Palliative Care Training Center and this course will be his enduring legacy.

Late Fragment

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

Raymond Carver
