The “Conversation Project” – The Conversation Project® is a public engagement initiative of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). Their goal is to help everyone discuss their wishes for health care through the end of life, so those wishes can be understood and respected.

Come and learn how to get the conversation started now, from UCG member, Jill.
