The Gift of Caring

In a powerful blending of memoir and practical strategies from a medical doctor’s perspective The Gift of Caring: Saving Our Parents – and ourselves - from the Perils of Modern Healthcare reveals the hidden side of modern healthcare practices for aging Americans. This ground-breaking book co-written by award-winning author Marcy Houle and nationally-recognized geriatrician and public health advocate Elizabeth Eckstrom MD MPH sheds new light on aging by showing it from twin perspectives: the story of a daughter desperately seeking help for the parents she loves and a geriatrician who offers life-changing strategies that can protect our loved ones and ourselves.
