The Heart Behind the 3 Wishes Program

Some wishes are more than dreams – they can bring comfort, joy and meaning in life’s final moments. In this deeply moving episode, Dr. Eve Glazier speaks with Thanh Neville, MD, medical director of UCLA Health’s 3 Wishes Program. The program honors patients facing terminal illness by fulfilling meaningful final wishes that bring connection and dignity at the end-of-life. Dr. Neville shares the powerful story of the program’s very first wish and its lasting impact on the patient’s wife. What began as a small research project has grown into a compassionate model of care that transforms end-of-life experiences for patients, families, and the caregivers who walk beside them.
