We are excited to welcome Professor Stephen G. Post, Director of the Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care and Bioethics, and Professor of Family, Population and Preventive Medicine at Stony Brook University.

This session will be an informal and open discussion, where we will seek to discover:

• What evidence and reasons there are to show why helping others and being altruistic is good for your health – particularly with regards to longer, healthier lives?
• Recommendations for people over 45+ in terms of the best things they can do to help others.  Where do they start?
