In a powerful blending of memoir and practical strategies from a geriatrician’s perspective, The Gift of Caring: Saving Our Parents from the Perils of Modern Healthcare reveals the hidden side of modern healthcare practices for aging Americans. Co-written by award-winning author Marcy Houle and nationally-recognized clinical geriatrician and public health advocate, Elizabeth Eckstrom MD MPH, The Gift of Caring illuminates aging by showing it from twin perspectives: a story of a daughter desperately seeking help for the parents she loves, and a geriatrician who gives us the knowledge we need to insist upon a better way. The Gift of Caring offers life-changing strategies to protect our loved ones, and details the best ways to advocate for our parents’ – and our own – medical care.
