Dignity, Diversity, and Visions of a Good Death
Location: Duke Chapel

What would you do if you knew you had a year to live? A month? A day? How would you spend your time?  Who would you spend it with?  What would you do? Please join us as we explore how these questions—and the way that each of us answers them—illuminate the diversity in our community. Presented by The Duke Center for Palliative Care, in partnership with Duke Chapel's Bridge Panels Series, and the Duke University School of Nursing.

*** The event is free and open to the public, but if you plan to attend, please RSVP to Jennifer Bowen at jennifer.bowen@duke.edu. ***

The panelists are:

  • Linda Jacob, patient family member
  • Kimberly Johnson, MD, associate professor of medicine, Division of Geriatrics
  • Pastor Ronald Godbee, River Church in Durham
  • Anthony Galanos, MD, professor of medicine, Duke Palliative Care
  • Elizabeth Zechinati, NP, nurse practitioner, Duke Palliative Care

The conversation will be moderated by David Casarett, MD, director of the Duke Center for Palliative Care.

A reception will follow in the Chapel's Narthex.
