Robert Hart, MD ’85, met Susan Nelson, MD ’84, at the @McGovernMed Strobel Retreat, never imagining where that introduction would lead. Today, their generosity is giving future medical students the chance to begin unforgettable journeys of their own.

At Med #GrandRounds today @nyugrossman, Aanand D. Naik, MD, of @UTHealthHouston and @UTGeripal gave an outstanding talk on Patient Priorities Care, addressing the challenges of multimorbidity in aging adults and how aligning treatment with patient values can improve outcomes.
Key Takeaways:
▶️Start with what matters most to the patient.
▶️Translate values into specific, actionable outcome goals.
▶️Identify and reduce barriers to those goals, including care burdens.
▶️Align and adapt treatments based on goal attainment.
