This week: End-of-life care, cervical cancer screening, more

The president of the Medical Society for the State of New York talks on “HealthLink” this week about the improvement of end-of-life care, physician-assisted suicide and medical marijuana.

Dr. Thomas Madejski is a specialist in internal medicine in Medina, near Buffalo, who focuses mostly on geriatrics and palliative care, and he’s a graduate of Upstate Medical University in Syracuse.

Also this week: how screening women for cervical cancer is changing, plus providing medical care to refugees.

Tune in Sunday, August 19 at 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. on WRVO for "HealthLink on Air."
