Medical care is an important topic for everyone. The ethical guidelines that direct that care is something people often speak of but a subject of which most of us know little about. Using this year’s One Book, One Community book, Five Days at Memorial, by Sheri Fink, field experts Sarah Stockey, and Jason Byron, will share information and answers questions about medical ethics training and implementation in hospitals and during emergencies. The discussion will also include end-of-life directive options and how to effectively express your medical care wishes.
Please register at the front desk or call the Library at 412.835.2207.
The Library would like to acknowledge our One Book, One Community sponsors and partners: Allegheny County, Highmark, Dollar Bank Foundation and WYEP.
