Episode Synopsis

In this recording of a virtual seminar presented on April 16, 2020 in conjunction with National Healthcare Decisions Day, Attorney Julie Steinbacher of Steinbacher, Goodall & Yurchak, and Dr. Alexander Nesbitt, geriatrician at UPMC Susquehanna, discuss the importance of making end-of-life preferences known to your family and healthcare professionals. Are you aware that when the time comes, 50% of people are physically or mentally unable to make their own end-of-life decisions? It is essential that your family and health care professionals know your preferences and values about these important decisions. Dr. Nesbitt discusses things from a healthcare professional's point of view, while Julie goes over the legal perspective.
