Living with a Serious Illness (Part Two): Planning Ahead and Navigating Tough Conversations

Advance care planning is something you can do while you are healthy and continue to do after a diagnosis of a serious illness.

In part two of our two-part series on serious illness and palliative care, we focus on the importance of planning ahead and navigating the sometimes difficult conversations that come with it.

Hosts Megan Beahen and Alex Newman welcome back Dr. Samantha Winemaker, Palliative Care Physician, Associate Professor at McMaster University and Hsien Seow, PhD, Canada Research Chair in Palliative Care, Professor at McMaster University.
