Upcoming MNDC Events |
Currently, our monthly meetings are held virtually by ZOOM until further notice.
Once we get back to meeting in person, we will be gathering at Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm CST. The address is 511 Groveland Avenue, Minneapolis. There is plenty of free parking. Every month will feature a local speaker or special interest topic or have a Death Doula case study discussion about end of life doula work. Monthly meetings are just one of the benefits to membership. However, if you aren't a 'joiner' or just want to check us out before committing to a long-term (year-long) relationship, monthly meetings are $10 to attend. This change is effective as of our January 2020 gathering. Learn more information about membership here. |
2022 Upcoming Monthly MNDC Events
Currently, our monthly meetings are held virtually by ZOOM until further notice. 7:00-8:30 CST
June 8, 2022 - The Value of Death: A palliative care physician's journey into her own terminal disease and beyond - Joanne Roberts, MD
Zoom 7:00-8:30PM CST
Joanne has practiced medicine for 35 years, about 20 of those as a palliative care physician and hospice medical director. She retired last summer as the chief medical officer for Providence, a large health system on the West Coast, and a few months later was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome, a "pre-leukemic" cancer. She will share her learnings as a physician for those near life's end, and then share what she has had to unlearn and re-learn as she looks toward her own death.
"There is a gap that exists -- and will always exist -- between medicine and patients facing terminal illness, and it is only by facing -- even embracing -- our own deaths will we build bridges across that gap," she has written. She will be joined in our discussion by Janet Brown and Wendy Brown, both of whom are walking this journey with her.
There is a $10 fee for non-members to attend our virtual ZOOM meetings.
It's an honor system, please CLICK HERE to SUBMIT PAYMENT to PayPal before attending. Thank you.

August 10, 2022 - Understanding Medical Aid in Dying with Rebecca Thoman, M.D.
Zoom 7:00-8:30PM CST
Ten states and the District of Columbia currently authorize medical aid in dying as an option for terminally ill adults at the end of life. Twenty more states introduced or advanced similar legislation this year, including Minnesota.

Speaker: Rebecca Thoman, M.D. manages the campaign to authorize aid in dying for Compassion & Choices in Minnesota. She has worked in health and public health policy for more than 20 years advocating for issues such as gun violence prevention, tobacco control and health care access. She trained in Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Minnesota, is a registered lobbyist and was a candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2000.
