The article referenced in the above link, “Summer read sparks end-of-life discussion”, brings continuing attention to the discussion about end-of-life awareness and the need to understand that it comes to each of us.
“For the third year in a row WITF’s Transforming Health teams up with Aligning Forces for Quality - South Central PA and the Central PA library systems to present the ‘Summer Read’. The goal is to ignite meaningful dialogue around aging, death, and what it means to grow old in the 21st century. Through September, the public is invited to participate in ‘A Summer Read’, a unique program encouraging residents to visit local libraries to borrow Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End written by bestselling author Atul Gawande and hold discussions with their book clubs, friends, family and colleagues.” - SOURCE: TransformingHealth.org
“After reading the book, use the discussion guide to continue the conversation with other readers.
