BRIDGTON — Bridgton Hospital and Androscoggin Home Care & Hospice, in partnership with the Hospice Foundation of America, will host two screenings of the PBS film “Being Mortal.”

The film follows physician Atul Gawande as he thinks about death and dying in the context of being a healer. The renowned writer and Boston surgeon shares stories about experiences at the end of life from patients and his own family. Gawande published a national bestselling book by the same name.

The goal is to raise public awareness on the importance of discussing end-of-life preferences and goals with loved ones and medical professionals.

Screenings are from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19, and 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 26, at the Magic Lantern Theater, 9 Depot St.
