November 17, 2026 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Death Café offers people affected by cancer a
welcoming space to talk openly about death,

The conversation is directed by the participants,
with no set agenda, themes, or expected
conclusions. Its purpose is to increase awareness
of death and help us make the most of our finite,
magnificent lives.
Death Café is a discussion group rather than a
grief-support group or counseling session.
Participants are welcome to engage at their own
comfort level.Facilitated by Lance Hogue Jr., DRN/CM, ALM,
