I used to think that I wanted to live to 100 or beyond. If I’m enjoying life, I’m still for it. But if moving my body makes me miserable and chronic illness rules my day, I’m pretty sure I’ll opt for slow medicine.Is slow medicine something that is appealing to you or do you say ‘no way!’ … ?Slow Medicine is an approach that encourages less aggressive and less costly care at the end of life. It’s a strategy similar to hospice – focusing on comfort – not cure. Kendal at Hanover, a senior community connected to Dartmouth Medical School, has become a leader in slow medicine. According to a recent N.Y. Times story, which you can read on Kendal’s website here, most residents there don’t opt for ‘medical heroics,’ the hugely expensive, pull-out-all-the-stop medical interventions to keep people living.I like how Hanover provides customer ‘choice’ to the very end of life. It seems like a very healthy approach to health care.
