About BJ Miller<\/strong><\/p>\n

As executive director at Zen Hospice Project<\/a> in San Francisco, BJ Miller helps patients face their own deaths realistically, comfortably and on their own terms. Through the work of Zen Hospice Project, Miller is cultivating a model for palliative care organizations around the world and emphasizing healthcare’s quixotic relationship with the inevitability of death.<\/p>\n

Miller’s passion for palliative care stems from personal experience. A horrific accident in college cost him three limbs and nearly killed him. But that experience helped form the foundation of his empathy for patients who are running out of time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
