A Community Conversation on Choice, Care & Compassion
About this Event

Join By the Bay Health and Dominican University of California for a special community screening of the acclaimed PBS documentary When My Time Comes, followed by a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring Medical Aid in Dying (MAID), serious illness, end-of-life care, and the importance of compassionate, patient-centered decision-making.

The film follows NPR journalist Diane Rehm's deeply personal journey after the death of her husband, John, while bringing together the voices of patients, families, clinicians, clergy, and policymakers to examine one of healthcare's most complex and important conversations.

Following the screening, attendees will engage with a distinguished panel of healthcare and community leaders, moderated by Skelly Wingard, CEO of By the Bay Health.

Featured Panelists

  • Dr. Carolyn Rennels, Physician Leader for Medical-Aid-I-Dying, UCSF Health
  • Deborah Meshel, MSN, Assistant Professor of Nursing, Dominican University of California
  • Diane Button, Death Doula and Author of What Matters Most
  • Victoria Wilkinson, BSN, Director of Patient Care Services, By the Bay Health

This event is open to healthcare providers, public health professionals, faculty, students, alumni, donors, patients, families, and all community members interested in advancing meaningful conversations about choice, care, dignity, and compassion at the end of life.

We hope you will join us for an evening of learning, reflection, and community dialogue.
