如何更有尊嚴、更有品質地迎接善終 | Why home health care leads to better aging | 余尚儒 Sang Ju Yu | TEDxTaipei

你認為怎麼樣的最後一程才是善終？提倡在宅醫療的余尚儒醫師認為，在宅醫療的本質是一種陪伴，以預防惡化、預防受苦為目的，讓病人可以用有尊嚴、品質的方式在社區中安詳地迎接生命的最後一哩路。余醫師在此分享他在都蘭診所推廣在宅醫療的經驗，並希望我們思考，當疾病到一個階段時，我們真的要把病患送去醫院嗎？還是要讓病患在家中安詳度過餘生？

Home health care advocate Sang Ju Yu has been running his Home Clinic Dulan since 2017. It is the first clinic in Taiwan where medical personnels make house calls and work with family members in providing the best care to elderly patients. In this candid talk, Yu shares how treating patients in the comfort of their own homes has transformed the small community of Dulan. -----

台灣在宅醫療學會創會理事長、都蘭診所所長。在2017年4月成立「台灣在宅醫療學會」，以及於同年年底在目前居住的都蘭，開設台灣第一所以在宅醫療為主要核心的都蘭診所。

除了醫療本業，也長期關注台灣環境正義與糧食安全議題，與當地居民發起都蘭SPC醫食農研究中心，面對急速高齡的台灣，進一步籌組「好家宅共生文化基金會」。 期待透過在台東的「在地實踐」，粹發出「生命有限、在宅無限」的精義。
