What would you do if you were diagnosed with a life-limiting disease? Amy Berman, Senior Program Officer at the John A. Hartford Foundation, will share her experiences from the front row of terminal illness and talk about the role of the patient in establishing the goals of care, the importance of palliation, and recommendations for healthcare policy.
