The class, led by Henry and Janet Bartosch, will be a book study on Being Mortal by Atul Gawande, MD, a Harvard educated surgeon. This book, an easy read and still on the NYT’s best seller list since 2014, examines the independent self versus the inevitable dependent life as we age. It includes optimizing health and well-being, living arrangements and end-of-life decisions, as well as, many anecdotal stories to make his points. It's focus is to live each day in autonomy with meaning and purpose.
