While it’s important for people to prepare for future health issues by signing a living will, naming a health care agent, and discussing one's wishes, these steps are just the beginning. Learn how to choose a health care agent, what to discuss with an agent, and — critically — what they can expect and how to prepare an agent for the task ahead. Led by Virginia (Gigi) Morris, who has been studying and writing about end-of-life decision making for more than 25 years. Morris is the author of How To Care For Aging Parents, widely considered to be "the Caregivers’ Bible." She has appeared on Oprah, The Today Show, Good Morning America, The CBS Morning Show, Primetime, ABC World News with Diane Sawyer, Katie, NRP, CNN, and a host of other national media, and has testified before Congress on eldercare issues.
