Bethlehem, PA (1/17/2017) – Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Ellen Goodman will present “The Most Important Conversation America Isn’t Having” at the seventh annual Dr. and Mrs. Max Littner Memorial Lecture Series for Bereavement, co-sponsored by St. Luke’s University Health Network.

Goodman is the founder of The Conversation Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people talk about their wishes for end-of-life care. The goal of the project is to make conversations about end-of-life care easier, and to make sure that individuals’ wishes are expressed and respected.
