As we end the year and decade, and look forward to the next... there is no better time to have important conversations about what matters most to each of us.
In this week's Exponential Medicine newsletter we honor three of our Exponential Medicine faculty who have recently passed away, and reflect on their incredible journeys, their personal insights on life, identity, and loved ones; managing, negotiating, and challenging illness; befriending technology and embracing humanity; and their perspectives on dying and death.
Conversations on Ending Well: Talking about Life, Death, Joy and What Really Matters
"If you knew when you were going to die, if you knew exactly how much time you had left...how would live, what would you do the same...or differently?" --Dr. Janet Sollod at Exponential Medicine 2017
At Exponential Medicine 2019 we honored and remembered our xMed faculty Janet Sollod, Steven Keating and Charity Tillemann-Dick—their lives, their contributions and the messages they left us.

The xMed session included ‘Death over Dinner’, with its founder Michael Hebb. This program provides an opportunity to have important conversations about mortality, what really matters. There is now new version, Death Over Dinner for healthcare professionals to better enable us to hear and navigate in assisting patients to live their last days, weeks or months as they wish.
