Tackling a Tough Topic: Advanced Medical Planning

Distinguished visiting Speaker & Book Signing

While Americans strive to control nearly every aspect of their lives, many of us abandon control of life's final passage. The realities of 21st-century medicine allow most of us to be empowered in end-of-life situations, yet most Americans are not taking the simple, free steps that allow this to happen. The implications for us personally, for respect for our own individual values, and for our loved ones are primary, but there are legal and economic aspects as well. Dan Morhaim, M.D., Emergency Medicine Physician, 24-year Maryland state legislator, and a 16-year veteran faculty member at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health provides practical guidance – and a lively and engaging speaking style - to this challenging and universal topic, one we tend to avoid but ought not to.
