A Hospice Perspective on Assisted Death

With 20 years of experience in hospice care, Ronke has witnessed many different perspectives on life, death, and what it means to truly care for someone at the end of life.

During this speaking event, she reflects on her experience moving from the Midwest to California and encountering California’s assisted death.

Her experience opened her eyes to an important conversation: how do we support patients when their understanding of quality of life and their readiness for death may be very different from our own?

Ronke’s years in hospice have taught her that every patient has a story, and sometimes, the most meaningful care begins with simply listening.
