When serious illness strikes, family members are too often left to watch their loved one suffer in pain until their final days.
But there's a growing movement to rethink that journey from diagnosis to death. Doctors, patients and advocates are pushing our health care system to do a better job of providing comfort and meaning during life's final chapter. Even so, in many families crucial conversations about end-of-life wishes have yet to take place.
We think it's a universal human story worth covering, which is why we're hosting a webinar on
April 23 at 10 a.m. PT / 1 p.m. ET, where we'll hear from
Dr. Sunita Puri, a
gifted storyteller and leading practitioner of palliative care, and
Fran Smith, a Pulitzer-winning journalist who has written extensively on end-of-life care and hospice.
Journalists will come away from this webinar with a better understanding of why these critical topics are worthy of deeper coverage, and how powerful and clarifying end-of-life stories can be.
