Better Together Podcast Ep 20 - Goals of Care: A Conversation with Dr. Anderson

In this episode, Steph Cain sits down with Dr. Anderson, Our Hospice and Palliative Care Medical Director, to talk about goals of care—what the term really means, why these conversations matter, and how they help ensure care is guided by what matters most to each person. They discuss how goals-of-care conversations can bring clarity and peace of mind for patients and loved ones, especially when they happen before a crisis. Dr. Anderson also shares insight on advance care planning tools like Five Wishes, which you can explore at: https://www.fivewishes.org/for-myself/ During the conversation, Steph and Dr. Anderson also reference Episode 2, “How Do You Talk to a Loved One About Hospice Care?”, which can be found here: https://youtu.be/wYXB60x41l0 To listen to this and other episodes, visit ourhospice.org/podcast.
