And, you know, I really leaned in from my perspective as a primary care geriatrician to hearing from what my patients and their family caregivers are asking me for and asking me about, and they’re asking me about how they can prepare.

It was like kind of a co op with this common space that different groups could rent for events and meetings and things like that. We have recently, for our larger events, and even not as large events, we have people send us their stories. And I turned to my dad and I said, I think mom needs palliative care.

Is there a role for the primary care doctor, for the anesthesiologist, for the consulting team, for … Eric: Integrative geriatrics. We’re available, palliative care. Alex: Mm-hmm.

Folks who were first homeless after 50, there was an event, and usually those events could be described in one of four categories. But nothing in healthcare.
