About this listen
If you have a bad accident and are in a coma, or maybe you're coming close to the end of your life, do you think your medical team would know what kind of care you'd like if you couldn't speak for yourself?
There's a written form called a health care directive that outlines the kind of care you want and don't want if you're not able to make your own medical decisions.
What's the philosophy behind these legal documents? In this episode, we'll talk with one of the country's foremost experts in advance care planning, Dr. Bud Hammes, who was the force behind Gunderson Health System's "Respecting Choices" program.
Also joining us, Dr. Nneka Sederstrom, the former Chief Health Equity Officer at Hennepin Healthcare in Minneapolis Minnesota and co-founder of UzObi, an advance care planning tech company.
