Life Care Planning News You Can Use
Dr. William H. Thomas has been invited to give the 2009 Annual Conference Keynote Address on Saturday, September 12, 2009 at the Hotel Sofitel in Chicago, IL.
Dr. William H. Thomas is an international authority on geriatric medicine and eldercare. A graduate of Harvard Medical School (1986) he went on to graduate medical training in the Highland Hospital/University of Rochester Family Medicine Residency. While he planned on a career in Emergency Medicine, a part-time position as the medical director of a small rural nursing home turned into a full-time and lifelong passion for improving the well-being of older people. In the early 1990’s he and his wife Judith Meyers-Thomas developed the Eden Alternative.
The Eden Alternative put forward a radical critique of the status quo in long-term care and offered a creative way to “change the culture” of nursing homes by bringing life and laughter into the lives of elders. The philosophy also called for fundamental changes in the relationship between staff and management. His book on the initial implementation project, “The Eden Alternative: Nature Hope and Nursing Homes” was published by the University of Missouri Press in 1994. That same year he founded the Eden Alternative non-profit organization, which has grown to include affiliates in Japan, Australia, Scandinavia, Europe, Canada and the United Kingdom as well as the fifty states. Dr. Thomas continues to serve as its president.
