JCP Health and Wellness Series #2: Redesigning End of Life | Engaging with a “Taboo” Topic

We all attempt to live mindfully and yet, when it comes to the end-of-life decisions, many people tend to give up agency. How can we take control and make choices that are deliberate and conscious?

This may be the most difficult conversation you have with your parents, spouse and children. It can also be the biggest blessing. Join us for a meaningful discussion on ending well – the ethical, legal, medical, spiritual and financial complications and opportunities that each of us can either choose to ignore or grasp with love and dignity.

Panelist include:

• Diane E. Meier, MD, FACP, FAAHPM Professor of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine and Director Emerita of the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.
• Evan Zazula, DMIN, BCC Chaplain with The Hertzberg Palliative Care Institute based at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai for eight years and is currently a faculty consultant with Center for the Advancement of Palliative Care (CAPC) Clinical Education.
• Marni Blank, Founder of Begin With The End, which helps individuals and families plan ahead, navigate end-of-life and loss, and have the conversations that matter most.
• Victoria Feder, a healthcare and business consultant as well as a hospice volunteer and end-of-life doula. She works with community members to confront the subject of death and thereby reduce the anxiety that inevitably keeps this topic under wraps.
