If you have a little time over the Holidays, I would encourage you to listen to this Story Corps-like interview I did with Dr Nancy Homburg in 2015. This oral history project is one of the fun and rewarding things I get to do in my work as a Medical Librarian. Dr Homburg is one of the most eloquent, passionate, and professional people I've ever met. Treat yourself and listen! It's the first link in the blog post below.
Dr Nancy Homburg Interview 4-16-2015

In the photo above, Dr. Homburg is strategically standing next to the orange and purple binders for Education for Physicians in End-of-Life Care (EPEC), the program she coordinates in the Fox Valley.
Dr. Homburg's Quotes from the session :
"Dying is about who you are, and who you're connected to, not the disease. It's about community and relationships."
"All beauty is infinite--and nothing lasts forever."
