She’s a hospice and palliative care nurse practitioner and Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing at UCSF. We also have Joe Shega, who is a hospice physician, and he is a Chief Medical Officer and Vice President at VITAS Healthcare. When I talk to our nurses, that’s what it’s about.

Most emergency providers wanted to do the right thing for seriously ill patients, but they didnt have the knowledge, skills, or experience to do it.
