Encouraging folks to think about the kind of care they would or would not want if something were to happen that would render them incapacitated has been one of Dr. Ira Byock's missions throughout his 50-plus year career as an Emergency Room physician and Palliative Care specialist. Alongside Roberta Geidner of Lebanon County's Aging Inspired Advance Care Coalition, Dr. Byock discusses advance care directives, and what we all must know.
