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.

The lecture is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. April 19 at the Central Moravian Church, 73 W. Church St., Bethlehem.

Tickets are $10 and currently are available at www.slhn.org/littnerlectureseries or by calling 1-866-STLUKES (785-8537).

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. Guests at the lecture will gather the tools needed to start the conversation.

The Dr. and Mrs. Max Littner Memorial Lecture Series for Bereavement was created to raise consciousness for the big issues of life: living meaningfully and well, and sparking necessary conversations with loved ones about issues that are truly matters of life and death. The annual lecture features prominent guests who discuss the importance of mind and body in healing and care, and ways you can cultivate hope, take action and be more responsible for your medical decisions.
