Comfort or Conflict in End-of-Life Care: A Discussion About What’s Missing with Advance Directives

This is the live recording of the SpeakSooner Community Education program from the Bennington Performing Arts Center on May 24 at 6pm.

In recent years there have been initiatives urging people to complete an advance directive. But, do advance directives stand the test of time?

The award-winning film, Prognosis, provides a valuable example of how end-of-life care can look. This film will be the springboard for our panel to offer multiple perspectives on this critical community conversation about what matters at the end of life.

Our panelists: Michael J Welther, MD; attorney, John Whalen; Nancy Iserman, MSW; and patient, Jenna Peeler brought their personal and professional experience to a discussion about issues surrounding these important decisions. CCM Executive Director, Bernard M Bandman, PhD moderated.
