Event Details

As we age, healthcare decisions can become increasingly complex. Whether considering treatment options, surgery, or future living arrangements, there is often no single “right” choice and the best path is the one that fits the preferences of the patient.

Shared decision-making brings together patients, family members, caregivers, and healthcare providers to make choices that reflect an individual’s goals, values, and preferences. This may include discussions about quality of life, independence, risks and benefits of treatments, caregiving needs, and future planning.

These conversations go beyond medical options to focus on what matters most to each individual patient. By working together, older adults can make informed decisions and feel confident that their care aligns with what is most important to them.

🗓️ Day 2: August 28, 9am - 1pm | Half-day workshop for researchers, clinicians, and service providers
