The screening will be followed by a panel discussion, moderated by Isabella Miller, Program Director, Berkeley Film Foundation; and will include Brad Berman, the director of the film; Stewart Florsheim, VP, Board of Directors, End of Life Choices California; and Susan Gess, PharmD, Retired Clinical Pharmacist at Kaiser Permanente and member of the Advisory Council, End of Life Choices California.
End of Life Choices California’s mission is to provide Californians the information and support to successfully navigate their legal end-of-life options. Relevant topics include Advance Care Planning; the California End of Life Option Act (EOLA); eligibility requirements for Medical Aid in Dying (MAiD); and Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED)–a legal option in all 50 states. Our volunteers are very knowledgeable about both hospice and palliative care and can explain the differences between the two services.
