What is an Advance Care Plan and Why Is It Important?

What is an Advance Care Plan and Why Is It Important?

Dr. Marissa Galicia-Castillo and Tom Orsini, Lake Taylor’s President & CEO, appeared on WAVY-TV’s Hampton Roads Show recently. The two discussed with host Chris Reckling the upcoming Advance Care Planning seminar (Jan. 25), the goal of which is to help other families have the “courageous conversation” to learn about their loved one’s wishes should they one day face the challenge of a chronic and debilitating medical condition. Kay and Al Abiouness generously endowed this Advance Care Planning Seminar through the Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital Foundation.

Marissa Galicia-Castillo, MD, FAAHPM is Medical Director of the Macon F. Brock Jr. Palliative Care Medicine Program and
Director of the Glennan Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology at Old Dominion University.
Mr. Tom Orsini is President & CEO of Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital.
