The Foundation For End Of Life Care, hosted Ira Byock, M.D. in Juneau in December, 2025. Dr. Byock is a leading palliative care physician and public advocate for improving care through the end of life. He provided a special presentation to medical staff at Bartlett Regional Hospital and spoke to almost 200 Juneau residents on Dec. 10, 2025 at the Juneau Arts and Culture Center. His topic was "What Mortality Can Teach Us About Living Fully."
The Foundation offered our publication "When You're Not Here" to all who attended and provided important paperwork for people to consider filling out as part of their end-of-life planning. Dr, Byock's books were sold also at the event by Hearthside Books. In addition, Hospice volunteers provided additional free information about hospice services.
