Informed by the work of Dr. Seow and Dr. Winemaker, the session will provide practical information to help you prepare for serious illness with greater knowledge, confidence, and clarity. This topic will be of particular interest to people facing a life-limiting ilness, and those who love them. Everyone is welcome; registration is required.

What is Hope for the Best, Plan for the Rest?

When you are diagnosed with a life-changing illness, it can be overwhelming. While your diagnosis cannot be changed, the way you experience your illness can.

In Hope for the Best, Plan for the Rest, Dr. Winemaker and Dr. Seow draw on decades spent researching and caring for thousands of seriously ill patients to reveal the seven keys for a better illness experience. With real-life stories, tips, and exercises to improve your journey right from diagnosis, they provide practical tools to navigate the health care system with knowledge, confidence, and clarity.

You can find hope in the face of uncertainty. You can live well, be fully informed, and be activated—and feel more like a person and less like a patient. But most of all, you can be hopeful and prepared at every step along the way.
