A Good Death: A Panel Discussion for End of Life Options 

Hospice Help Foundation, Brookhaven Hospice, and Portsmouth Public Library present a panel of experts to help you think about and start to plan your final chapter of life and a “good death” - one that reflects your values and preferences.

The panel features a Palliative Care Provider/Educator, a Death Doula, an End of Life Coach, and a representative from the NH Alliance for End of Life Options.

Whether you are concerned about your legacy, interested in music and spiritual guidance, wondering about medical-aid-in-dying, or simply seeking clarification around hospice and palliative care, we have something for you. You will come away understanding options to improve your end of life experience and to die with no regrets.

This panel will be held in the Levenson Community Room at Portsmouth Public Library, AND there will also be an option to attend online.

Registration is required – all registrants will receive a Zoom link, but please indicate whether you plan to attend in person or online.
