  • How this aging population is set to increase in numbers for decades to come.
  • How our main stream medical system is struggling to meet the demands of the aging population.
  • Why looking for answers within the medical system is not the answer
  • How planning ahead can make your overall end of life better by 80%-90% no matter what the disease process.
  • How specially trained non-medical professionals can “fill the gaps” in our mainstream medical system and bring back patient centered, holistic care.
