Preparing today's health care workforce to meet future palliative care needs

First few Article Sentences

At the recent Cambia Health Foundation Sojourns Awards and Palliative Care Summit, Dr. Diane Meier, who leads the Center to Advance Palliative Care, told the story of “Mr. and Mrs. B.” Mr. B is an elderly man with dementia and other health issues. Facing another trip to the hospital – which had become a regular occurrence – he simply refused to go. His wife, exhausted and overwhelmed as his primary caregiver, didn’t know what else to do except call an ambulance. Once they arrived at the emergency room, a staff member recognized the need to develop a personalized, integrated palliative care program to support Mr. and Mrs. B and provide them with the care they need.
