Ask the Expert with Dr. Szabo

No matter how hard we try, we cannot stop time, which is why it’s crucial for everyone to future-proof and plan ahead for difficult health situations that involve their aging loved ones. Conversations should begin at home, well ahead of a critical incident, even if family members are young and healthy, but especially if they are elderly. In this podcast episode, Anna and Michael, two practicing physicians, discuss how individuals and family members can approach topics and concerns around eldercare and caregiving.
