2013 Summit: Personal Perspectives
January 29, 9:30AM-11:30AM Care Journey: Personal Perspectives on Advanced Care
Nearly everyone has a personal story about a loved one with an advanced illness. Unfortunately many of these stories are about the frustrations of dealing with a health care system that doesn’t truly serve our needs.
