[Lekooks] NOT to be missed

[Christina White]

*THE CONVERSATION PROJECT*: Jump Starting Discussions About End-of Life
Decisions*. Sunday, November 13, Noon *- Preliminary Discussion: ideas and
Questions, Room #4 *Sunday, December 11, Noon* - Book Discussion, Room #4

Please join Chris Prange-Morgan and Christina White for a book
read/discussion group of Atul Gawande's *Being Mortal: Medicine and What
Matters in the End. *Dr Gawande is a general surgeon/writer/public health
researcher.

 *Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End* was released in
October 2014. It discusses end of life choices about assisted living and
the effect of medical procedures on terminally ill people, and challenges
many traditionally held notions about the role of medicine.

Dr Stephanie Gilbertson-White, Assistant Professor at the University of
Iowa, will be with us on 11/13. Her expertise is in the field of palliative
care and cancer survivorship. *Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in
the End* is available in book stores and on-line for approximately
$12. Suggested donation for the class: $5.

We and our families will all be faced with end-of-life decisions. Have you
given it thought? Have you talked it over with your loved ones? This may
jump start those conversations.
