Community Conversation Series – Ira Byock, MD

The annual Community Conversation Series advances the discussion about end-of-life care and wishes, opening our minds and hearts to dialogue about death and dying. Three evenings are dedicated to starting the conversation, sharing information and providing the tools needed to begin the process of putting one’s priorities and desires into action. All are free and open to the public.

Night one features Ira Byock, MD, leading palliative care physician, author and public advocate for improving care through end of life. The evening will include a talk on “What Mortality Can Teach Us About Living” followed by a book signing of The Four Things That Matter Most- 10th Anniversary Edition.

In the ten years since its original publication, The Four Things That Matter Most has changed the lives of thousands who have turned to it for guidance and comfort. Now updated for its tenth anniversary with a new introduction by the author, this edition also contains new, inspiring stories from readers who have benefited from using the Four Things to mend a wide range of relationships before it was too late.
