Ok but what about Chicago and Portland where we started all this?

I have been deeply impacted by the stories of Illinoisans or their loved ones who have suffered from a devastating terminal illness — and I have been moved by their dedication to standing up for freedom and choice at the end of life in the midst of personal heartbreak.

My parents holding hands after their assisted deaths: Martin Roemers’ most personal photograph ‘Their lives were getting harder, even with help. They did not want to go to a nursing home and neither wanted to live without the other. So it made sense for them to leave this life together’

If at #hapc25 and you want to do 1 good thing today, go up to someone standing alone by their poster and ask for a 1 minute version. If you do 2 good things ask that poster presenter to join you at the GeriPal pub crawl starting at 8pm at the Celtic.

Highly recommend a visit to Meow Wolf Denver if you're into weird and cool interactive sci-fi art installations! #hapc25

Bluesky for Medicine Join the conversation

Hey Medsky, FMSky, and PedSky! I've created a Bluesky for Medicine Starter Pack. It's by no means a comprehensive list but hopefully it's a way for us to introduce more of our medical colleagues to the growing conversation here!

Please let me know if there's someone you think should be included.
