CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB)
June 20, 2022

Caring.com, a leading senior living referral service and the nation’s top site for senior care reviews, has published a recent study that examines the impact of COVID-19 on estate planning. The study provides insight into how personal experiences with the virus have shaped the way Americans approach end-of-life planning. Caring’s research experts examined responses from two separate surveys – both conducted in early 2022.

According to the study, 1 out of 5 Americans who died from COVID-19 had no estate plan in place. Forty-four percent of respondents say their loved ones had not filed any estate planning documents or they were unaware of any. The majority of respondents did indicate that they had some type of estate planning document: 23 percent prepared a will, 18 percent established a living trust and 16 percent had a different kind of estate plan.

For those who had a serious case and survived, survey results indicate that COVID-19 was a motivator to obtain a will – 48 percent of respondents who had a serious case of COVID-19 say they have a will. COVID-19 also motivated the loved ones of those who had a serious case of COVID-19. Forty-two percent of Americans who had second-hand experience with COVID-19 have an estate planning document. In comparison, only 29 percent of Americans without first or second-hand experience with the virus have a will, living trust, or any estate planning document.

“The COVID-19 pandemic was a wake-up call for Americans,” says Jim Rosenthal, CEO of Caring.com. “The increased exposure to sickness and death encouraged many people to become more proactive about end-of-life care and planning. Based on our study findings, there’s a need to increase awareness about estate planning and for more Americans to establish their end-of-life documents.”

Young adults are also more likely to engage in estate planning due to COVID-19. Twenty-nine percent of respondents aged 18-34 took action to obtain estate planning documents due to COVID-19. Middle-aged adults and seniors are less likely to be influenced by the pandemic. Only 22 percent of respondents in the 35-54 age group said COVID-19 motivated them to take steps to prepare an estate plan. Likewise, 13 percent of Americans aged 55 or older said the pandemic prompted them to start estate planning.

Caring.com conducted two separate surveys in 2022 – the information in this study is derived from those surveys. One survey was administered via the online survey platform Pollfish, and includes responses from 1,000 Americans who lost a family member due to COVID-19. The other survey is Caring.com’s annual estate planning study conducted in partnership with YouGov and surveyed 2,600+ American adults.

ATLANTA (PRWEB)
June 17, 2022

CommonSpirit Health CEO Lloyd H. Dean joined Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) for the latest edition of its new “Danforth Dialogues” podcast to discuss his groundbreaking career as a pharmaceutical company executive and leader of the country’s largest Catholic hospital system with MSM President and CEO Valerie Montgomery Rice, MD, FACOG.

Dean talked about his life growing up in Muskegon, Michigan, graduating from Western Michigan University, where he served as president of the student body and a member of the school’s Board of Trustees, to, his time as a teacher, then Executive Vice President at UpJohn before his long career as a hospital system executive.

“As he winds down his historic career, it was indeed a unique opportunity to have Lloyd on Danforth Dialogues to talk about his personal journey and provide his insights on successful leadership,” said Dr. Montgomery Rice. “Our conversation with Lloyd was the first Danforth Dialogues podcast before a live audience with members of both organizations joining us for the event.”

Dean, who also was the keynote speaker at the school’s 38th Commencement Exercises on May 21, talked about the strong support he received from his family that helped to inspire him to decide early in life that he wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. “In my whole career, I have had two disciplines, one was education which led me to become a school teacher, and the second was health care,” he said.

Dean also noted several key traits of successful leaders. “Number 1, for every opportunity I have had, I tried to be the most prepared,” he said. “Number 2, I was inquisitive. I tried to listen and learn from other people, and, third, I understood that in larger opportunities, it’s not about you, but your ability to get things done through other people.”

The Dean podcast episode is the first part of a two-part conversation. In the second part to air in July, Dean and Dr. Montgomery Rice will focus on the More In Common Alliance, an innovative partnership between the two organizations that seek to increase minority health practitioners and help reduce health disparities in underserved communities across the country.

Launched in March, “Danforth Dialogues” focuses on the leadership lessons from the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic and their broader implication for society. Named after the historic Danforth Chapel on the Morehouse College campus, the podcast series will also feature a cross-section of guests and topics not directly related to the pandemic but focused on broader aspects of leadership.
