SD Mines is excited to be hosting the first of what we hope to be many film screenings this semester. We will be showing a documentary, Defining Hope, that examines end-of-life care. The movie will be followed by a discussion with a panel of local health care professionals. The topic of palliative care is becoming more important as the Baby Boomer generation ages and more of the American population faces serious illness. The "quality of life" question is important for both patients and their families and for health care providers in discussions about how to help people in terminal stages of their lives.

We will be hosting the film screening and panel discussion on Tuesday, January 15th at 5:30PM in Christensen Hall of the King Center. The event will be free and open to anyone interested in this increasingly important topic in American health care.
