Dr. Clay Jackson, Medical Director of Methodist Healthcare Hospice, interviews Sally Aldrich, Administrator for Methodist Healthcare Home Care, Hopsice, and Palliative Care, and Debra Bartelli, Ph.D., Director for the Healthy Shelby Initiative. One of Healthy Shelby's primary goals is improving end-of-life care in Shelby County. Currently in the county, as in much of the nation, patients frequently received costly, in-hospital care that does not match their desires—simply because their wishes weren't stated before they became too ill to make them known. Advance care planning is one way of honoring patient wishes and ensuring appropriate care. For more about advance care planning, visit www.methodisthealth.org/advancecare.
