A Physician's Perspective of Death, Money, and Healthcare, Episode 165

The Heart of Hospice Podcast

Hospice physician and podcaster Jordan Grumet is sharing how his work with hospice patients creates deep conversations about end of life planning, money, and life. Dr. Grumet is currently an associate medical director at Journeycare Hospice. After years of blogging about financial independence and wellness, Jordan launched the Earn & Invest podcast in 2018. In 2019 he received the Plutus Award for Best New Personal Finance Podcast and was nominated in 2020 for Best Personal Finance Podcast of the year.

Jordan believes in having end of life conversations early and often. He’s seen the positive influence of those conversations in the lives and deaths of his patients. After losing his dad at an early age, Jordan noticed people didn’t know how to be with him and his family, or what to say to them. Jordan wanted the medical care he provided to align with his patients' end of life wishes, so he joined a hospice interdisciplinary team. He considers his real job to be supporting his fellow team members as they provide the moment-to-moment, bedside care.

Jordan endorses including financial discussions when we’re having conversations about healthcare needs in later life and when we’re approaching death. Caregivers are often dealing with money issues as well as the typical challenges of being a caregiver. Jordan’s podcast Earn and Invest deals with topics like focusing on retirement and determining the things that matter most.
