Preserving your ethical will

The idea for a web site devoted to ethical wills, was created by Barry K. Baines, MD, a family physician and medical director of a home-based hospice program in Minnesota.

Barry's interest in Ethical Wills began when his father developed a terminal illness in 1990. However, it was his hospice care experience that provided the impetus for developing resources to help people write and preserve their legacy of values at any stage of life.

Barry's Bio:

Barry recently transitioned from a 30-year healthcare profession to expand his passion for legacy through his work with Celebrations of Life and the expansion of ethical wills to a wider Legacy Journey™ concept.

As a senior manager within the health plan business and a leading authority on ethical wills, Barry pioneered its use in a number of settings, most notably, estate/financial/legacy planning and palliative care. He has spoken regionally and nationally on this topic to both professional and general public audiences. His work has been featured in many prominent newspapers, magazines and radio programs, and he has authored a number of books and resources on the subject.

Barry is Board Certified in both Family Practice and Hospice and Palliative Medicine. He serves as the Associate Medical Director for Hospice of the Twin Cities and Medical Director of Sholom Hospice.

Barry is dedicated to finding new approaches to bringing the Legacy Journey™ movement to hospice, senior living and estate/financial planning professions.

The Web site was designed and built by Thinkofit.
