Room 64 | A Palliative Care Podcast

Room 64 was the room where Evelyn Brooks spent the final three weeks of her life. But it was more than just bricks and mortar. It was people, love and support. “Room 64” is a podcast about the stories that came out of that room – and other rooms like it in Barwon Health’s Palliative Care Unit. Through storytelling and personal experiences, this podcast explores palliative care and the difficult topics of death and dying with the goal of making everyone a little more comfortable about talking about what matters most.
