Springfield Art Museum Auditorium
7:00 PM

Join Dr. Angelo Volandes, author, physician at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Mass., and faculty member at Harvard Medical School, for a thought-provoking keynote presentation about his book, “The Conversation: A Revolutionary Plan for End-of-Life Care.” 

In his book, Dr. Volandes calls for a radical re-envisioning of the patient-doctor relationship and offers ways for patients and their families to talk about the difficult issue of end-of-life choices to ensure that patients will be at the center and in charge of their medical care. 

Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event. This event is free and open to the public and is most appropriate for adults.
