Sociological Book Group @ The Jenks

This book club at The Jenks, in partnership with the Winchester Public Library, brings a sociological and anthropological lens to the discussion of books. Tony Corsotino of Winchester Public Library will lead the discussion of “Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End” by Dr. Atul Gawande. This 2014 non-fiction bestseller addresses end-of-life care, hospice care and suggests that medical care should focus on well-being rather than survival. Dr. Gawande practices general and endocrine medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and teaches at Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.
