You’re invited to a free screening and discussion of the PBS program “Being Mortal” on October 25, 2016 at Columbia Basin Technical Skills Center 900 Yonezawa Blvd. Moses Lake from 7:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. Reviews range from “moving, compassionate, meaningful, informative to necessary, urgent and timely.”
You will be part of a national dialog taking place in our community that asks “Have you and your family had the tough conversations and planned ahead?”
“Being Mortal” delves into the hopes of patients and families facing terminal illness. The film investigates the practice of caring for the dying and explores the relationships between patients and their doctors. It follows a surgeon, Dr. Atul Gawande, as he shares stories from the people and families he encounters. When Dr. Gawande’s own father gets cancer, his search for answers about how to best care for the dying becomes a personal quest.
After the screening, you can participate in a guided conversation on how to take concrete steps to identify and communicate wishes about end-of-life goals and preferences. Dr. E. Michael Graham, Dr. Cole Hemmerling and Bruce Pinkerton PLLC will anchor a board of professionals for questions and answers.
