Kris Kington-Barker – INELDA Director of Special Programs
As a pulmonary and critical care physician at Highland Hospice in Oakland,California, Dr. Zitter has had a front row seat in the public health crisis that touches all of us: the over-medicalization of end of life care and its emphasis on technology, which leads to added, unnecessary suffering for the dying.
In this webinar interview with Kris Kington-Barker, Dr Zitter will be sharing stories of her patients and colleagues, as well as her inner struggles as a physician and person providing care to the dying. Her experiences on the front line of critical care medicine will illuminate how we might all find a better path to the end of life. Dr. Jessica Zitter, MD, MPH specializes in Critical Care and Palliative Care medicine, and practices at the public hospital in Oakland, California. She is the author of Extreme Measures: Finding a Better Path to the End of Life. Her work is featured in the Oscar and Emmy-nominated short documentary Extremis, and her forthcoming film, Caregiver: A Love Story.
Extreme Measures can be purchased from Amazon, CEOReads or a local bookseller.
