Join us for our next Book Club gathering in April, where we will be discussing Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande.

A description of this nonfiction book is excerpted from Bookshop.org below:

Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming the dangers of childbirth, injury, and disease from harrowing to manageable. But when it comes to the inescapable realities of aging and death, what medicine can do often runs counter to what it should.
Through eye-opening research and gripping stories of his own patients and family, Gawande reveals the suffering this dynamic has produced.

Riveting, honest, and humane, "Being Mortal" shows how the ultimate goal is not a good death but a good life—all the way to the very end.
