Laurie McGraw is speaking with Inspiring Woman Jessica McGlory, CEO and Founder at Guaranteed, a care company that focuses on end of life care.
And we start by talking about death. Jessica shares her deeply personal journey that led to the creation of Guaranteed, when she was suddenly and unexpectedly thrown into becoming the primary caregiver for her father during a very emotional and confusing time as he needed to go into hospice. Losing a loved one is difficult. Couple this with needing to make important decisions at a time when people are likely feeling overwhelmed or at their most vulnerable…Jessica changed her professional focus to make this a more dignified process. Guaranteed aims to revolutionize the experience by using technology and personalized care to improve patient and family outcomes. Jessica believes she can provide and change the experience to provide equitable and incredible end of life care. By using technology and human-centered care Guaranteed aims to better equip caregivers and healthcare providers to support patients and to create a seamless end-of-life experience.
Jessica also reflects on her entrepreneurial journey, offering advice for future founders and sharing the importance of trusting your instincts and constantly learning.
