April 16 is National Health Care Decisions Day? Have you determined your health care wishes? And have you shared them with those closest to you and your health care practitioners?

In this podcast, host Dr. Cathy Rowe is joined by Tracy Grafton, a geriatric social worker and a board member of New Jersey’s Goals of Care Coalition, to discuss how advanced care planning helps your loved ones understand what you want when you can’t speak for yourself.

Grafton also examines the various life stages of a typical older adult and explores the importance of advance care planning—and how to have the much-needed conversation with your loved ones.
