# Nobody Gets Out Alive

> A podcast about healthcare around dying. Its idea: how well we live matters as much as how long we live, especially at the end. It is not about giving up, and it is not medical, legal or financial advice. Hosted by Shelly Shoultes, Board Certified Nurse Practitioner, who works in cardiac care.
