End-of-Life Choices: Having 'The Conversation' - Ellen Goodman

About This Episode

Did you know that 90% of Americans say it’s important to discuss their own and their loved ones’ wishes for end-of-life care, but only 30% actually do?

Pulitzer-prize winning writer Ellen Goodman founded The Conversation Project to help everyone have this difficult conversation with family members about their end-of-life wishes.

Hear Ellen talk about why she founded this organization. She will share specific tools and resources to help you begin talking with your loved ones and answer questions. Click here to download The Conversation Starter Kit.

This call was made possible by the generous support of Meryl Comer and the Geoffrey Beene Foundation Alzheimer’s Initiative.
