Dr. Lucy Kalanithi is a Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at Stanford University and an advocate for patient-centered care. She is the widow of Dr. Paul Kalanithi, author of the #1 New York Times-bestselling memoir "When Breath Becomes Air," which was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and translated into more than 40 languages, and for which she wrote the epilogue.
