The Terminal Diner
09/11/2024
Join us September 25 – October 11, 2024 at Bruyère’s Saint-Vincent Hospital to place your “order” at The Terminal Diner!
This interactive installation combines research and design to explore the topic of end-of-life experiences. Borrowing characteristics of a diner, The Terminal Diner invites participants to complete menu “chits” detailing selections for their “orders” for their own desired end-of-life health care journeys, and to “leave “reviews” of past experiences, capturing experiences of a loved one’s end-of-life care journey.
Death and end of life remain difficult topics for many Canadians. To better understand how we grapple with death, researchers are interested in what we might consider an ideal experience at end of life, to help guide the future of care in Canada.
This is a unique experience, co-led by Sarina Isenberg, PhD, Chair in Mixed Methods Palliative Care Research at the Bruyère Research Institute, bridging science and design for meaningful engagement from our staff, patients, their loved ones, and our community.
The exhibit is hosted in the atrium of Bruyère’s Saint-Vincent Hospital. No registration is required and admission is free.
Come share your order with us!
