In this episode — the second in a two-part conversation — Drs. Allison Sekuler and Rosanne Aleong interview Drs. Hsien Seow and Samantha Winemaker, hosts of the Waiting Room Revolution podcast, about shifting our approach to death and dying when it comes to serious illness.

In today’s episode, we will be doing a deeper dive into our current understanding about the palliative care journey around illness; and, more specifically, age-related illnesses like dementia.
