VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON MEETING

Being Mortal by Atul Gawande

Modern medicine can perform miracles, but it is also mainly concerned with preserving life rather than grappling with end-of-life issues. Drawing on his experiences working with terminally ill patients, Gawande offers a timely, hopeful account of how modern Americans face the realities and challenges of declining health and mortality.

Moderated by Educator Susan Gomes. To participate and for details about meeting virtually or in-person, contact Cindy Haiken at chaiken@wallingfordlibrary.org.
