Event: Documentary Viewing and Q&A

"Being Mortal" Documentary viewing followed by Q&A with Dr. Al-Hojerry of Beacon Hospice

In conjunction with his book, Being Mortal follows New Yorker writer and Boston surgeon Atul Gawande as he investigates the practice of caring for the dying, and shows how doctors—himself included—are often remarkably untrained, ill-suited and uncomfortable talking about chronic illness and death with their patients.

Wentworth Senior Living will be showing the documentary, followed by a Q&A by Dr. Al-Hojerry of Beacon Hospice. Further event information can be found below. First 10 people to RSVP will receive a FREE copy of Dr. Atul Gawande’s book “Being Mortal” Space is limited to 50 people. or call: (6013) 436-0169
