FINISH STRONG was a long time in the making—a lifetime actually. If you count the years I volunteered as a candy striper under the stern tutelage of the nursing nuns at St. Joseph Hospital in Joliet, Illinois, I’ve worked in healthcare almost fifty-five years. Dozens of clinical settings and assignments, countless patient encounters, years of advocacy in courtrooms and statehouses, decades of observation and experience—those are the seeds of the fruits borne by these pages.
When I recently hit age 70, I knew it was time to share what I'd learned over the years in a book that aims to be both inspiring and empowering. It's a call to all Americans to join a patient-driven movement to dismantle the institutional and cultural barriers to living well to the very end.
