Margaret P. Moss, PhD, JD, RN, FAANAmerican Indian Aging and Unintended
Consequences
Keynote AddressThursday, August 9, 2012
9–10:30 a.m.
American Indian elders are likely the most traditional in their tribes. Their needs often conflict with the state and federal laws designed for the dominant culture. Policies and health outcomes are likely tied together. Incorporating her extensive knowledge of American Indian elders, Dr. Moss will discuss the benefits of evaluating policies and regulations as they pertain to health and care of those persons of non-dominant cultures.
Dr. Moss is an enrolled member of the Three Affiliated Tribes of North Dakota—the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation.
She is the first and only American Indian to hold both Nursing and Juris Doctorates. Her focus area of study and main area of interest is American Indian aging. Dr. Moss is an associate professor and director of Nursing Management and Policy and Leadership Specialty at Yale University.
Leslie R. Martin, PhDThe Longevity Project: Surprising Discoveries for Health and
Long Life from the Landmark Eight-Decade Study
Closing PlenaryThursday, August 9, 2012
2:15–3:45 p.m.
Dr. Leslie Martin will share some of the most intriguing findings from a study entitled The Longevity Project. This ongoing study began in 1921. Most of the more than 1,500 participants are now deceased, but their lives provide a window on the personality and psychosocial characteristics that are most important to a long and fulfilling life.
Dr. Martin is a health psychologist who has studied pathways to health and longevity for the past 20 years. She received her PhD from the University of California and is currently
chair of the Department of Psychology at La Sierra University in Riverside. In addition to her research on pathways to health and longevity, she studies clinician-patient communication and its relationship to patient outcomes.

Viki Kind, MAFour Tools to Empower Caregivers Who
are Making the Difficult Decisions
Keynote AddressFriday, August 10, 2012
9–10:30 a.m.
As the numbers of individuals with cognitive impairments grow, professionals and families are struggling to make decisions for those without capacity. Ms. Kind will share the decision-making pathway, framework and tools to use when making a good, ethical decision. These tools will help give voice to those who can’t speak for themselves. This is not a one-size-fits-all solution but can be adapted depending on a person’s level of incapacity and the situation. Personal stories and practical examples will demonstrate how these tools work in real life. Respect and compassion are the core values of this decision-making process.
Viki Kind is a clinical bioethicist, hospice volunteer, and the author of the award-winning book, The Caregiver’s Path to Compassionate Decision Making: Making Choices for Those Who Can’t. Ms. Kind is an honorary board member of the Well Spouse Association and has been a caregiver for many years for four members of her family.
Jerald Winakur, MD, FACP, CMDPortrait of My Father: Ethical Caregiving in Aging America
Closing PlenaryFriday, August 10, 2012
2:15–3:45 p.m.
Dr. Jerald Winakur, a clinical professor of medicine and associate faculty member in the Center for Medical Humanities and Ethics at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, is a geriatrician who has dedicated his career to helping elders live well and, when the time comes, to die with grace.
Despite his professional knowledge, Dr. Winakur was unprepared for his own father’s descent into disability and dementia. “I may be a geriatrician, but coming to grips with the ravages and the realities of the aging process in my father
has been no easier for me than for anyone,” Dr. Winakur wrote in a new book, Memory Lessons: A Doctor’s Story. “Even though I have the experience to know what is coming, the training to describe in detail the pathologic progression of his disease, the medical vocabulary to document each step of his demise, I am powerless to prevent any of it.” Using techniques of the medical narrative, Dr. Winakur will discuss the demographic and ethical challenges our society faces, particularly caregivers, as our country ages.
