There are few things that link generations together; and that’s the beauty of observing and defining generations. Some of the greatest innovations throughout the course of humanity happen because of generational differences. From a generation who said we will no longer judge a man or a woman by the color of their skin, but the character of their heart; to a generation determined to tear down a wall dividing Germany during the Cold War. Each generation longs to make their mark upon history. Yet, as each generation comes of age – so to speak, there are struggles we all share – no matter how different we all seem.
One of these similarities are aging parents. Every single generation reaches a point where taking care of mom and dad become a top priority. How will we ensure their physical health, mental health, and even spiritual health? On this episode, we’re sitting down with the Executive Director of Fox Run Retirement Community Mike McCormick, and having a conversation about how we start that conversation with our parents now, so we can create an effective plan when that times comes. It’s not an easy topic, but it is an important one.

This seemingly simple, yet at times taboo question, brings multiple answers depending where you fall inside the healthcare spectrum. As a patient, one may assume a hospital's main priority focuses on solely increasing revenue, where as a healthcare professional may completely disagree, citing their personal driving factor of genuinely assisting an individual in need. Could it be possible both trains of though exist, simultaneously? And if so, which one should take precedent? On this episode, we're sitting down with System Chief Nursing Officer of St. Vincent Health Cindy Adams to tackle this tough question.
