Join us for a virtual Author Meet & Greet from the comfort of your home! For those registered, you’ll be emailed the Zoom link one day prior to the start of the event.
The Pre-Dead Social Club is excited to provide an opportunity to meet via Zoom, Drs. Sammy Winemaker and Hsein Seow, authors of “Hope for the Best, Plan for the Rest: 7 Keys for Navigating a Life-Changing Diagnosis”. Sammy and Hsein draw upon their decades spent researching and caring for thousands of seriously ill patients to reveal the seven keys for a better illness experience. These compassionate experts empower you with practical tools to navigate the health care system with knowledge, confidence, and clarity.
They believe 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. They see things from both the patient’s experience as well as the caregiving team.
In addition to co-authoring this book, they also co-host the Waiting Room Revolution podcast, now in it’s 9th season. For years, they often heard patients and families say they felt unprepared and overwhelmed. Despite years of education, research, and advocacy, they continued to hear patients and families say “Why didn’t anyone tell me that sooner…”
They started the Waiting Room Revolution movement because they wanted to improve the patient and family illness experience. They want to build a community to share deeply human stories about caring for others. Through interviews with experts, clinicians, patients and caregivers, they are harnessing the advice of those with lived experience to better prepare those who are just starting their caring journey. They also believe in the power of community and learning from others.
The Pre-Dead Social Club is on a mission to bring fresh energy to vital conversations about death and dying, fostering understanding among individuals, loved ones, and the professionals they rely on. Together, we cultivate clarity, build confidence, and advocate for compassionate, personalized end-of-life experiences.
