How Jimmy Carter Changed the Conversation On Hospice Care

Season 2023 Episode 6053 | 18m 17s

Earlier this year, former U.S. president Jimmy Carter announced he would enter hospice care. Many took this to mean he was on the verge of death. Yet Carter is now weeks away from celebrating his 99th birthday. Dr. Daniela Lamas, a critical care physician, tells Michel Martin why she’s grateful to Carter for dispelling the idea that hospice automatically means death.
