Please join us as we screen one of the hottest new documentary films, End Game (https://www.netflix.com/title/80210691). Facing inevitable outcomes, terminally ill patients meet extraordinary medical practitioners seeking to change our approach to life and death. This is their story. In addition, we will be circulating and using the End Game toolkit, which can be found here (http://coalitionccc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/END-GAME-Toolkit.pdf). Come and join us, as we watch, and then digest, this film together, using the toolkit! This session will enable and empower you to show the film and use the toolkit in your places of work and worship as well!

I am happy to get you lunch as well. Just let me know? Box lunches are 15.00, and are obtained from http://picnixsf.com/.

End Game Documentary

SFEOL Meeting

May 02, 2018

Please join us as we screen Producer and Director Mike Hill's latest documentary film, Hippocratic (http://hippocraticfilm.com/). This is an amazing story about the essence of palliative care, and how Dr. MR Rajagopal helped to forge its presence throughout his native India. This really is a wonderful film: smart, compelling, and inspiring. To me, this ranks among the best cinematic portraits of the aims of palliative care, and what it takes to achieve them. I know many of you attended the UCSF presentation with Dr. Raj last month-- here's a chance to see the film!  (Unfortunately, Mike and Dr. Raj will not be joining us, but they expressed they'll be with us in spirit).
