Renewing the Conversation: Respecting Patients’ Wishes and Advance Care Planning

This week, there was a good hearing before the Senate Special Committee on Aging, titled "Renewing the Conversation: Respecting Patients’ Wishes and Advance Care Planning."  



A video of the hearing is available here.  Witnesses included:  




  • James Towey, Founder, Aging with Dignity and President, Ave Maria University

  • Harriet Warshaw, Executive Director, The Conversation Project

  • Amy Vandenbroucke, Executive Director, National Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment Paradigm Task Force

  • Gloria Ramsey, RN, Associate Professor, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences



Unfortunately, there has been no movement on H.R. 1173, the Personalize Your Care Act.  I recently praised this bill in "The New Patient Self Determination Act."
