We’re going to define what that is and how it applies to the work that we do. But before we go into that, Amber, I think you got a song request for Alex. Amber: I do. Being a palliative care physician, the one that came immediately to mind was Knocking on Heaven’s Door. You know what? So I just can’t keep going. I love this song.

And so we worked closely with a community advisory group who, through focus groups, told us how it was that black and white individuals with serious illness had wanted to be treated.

Summary Transcript Summary We’ve talked a lot about comprehensive dementia care on the GeriPal podcast but while the evidence is clear that these programs work, the uptake has been limited largely because there hasn’t been a strong financial case for it. It requires a fight. It’s been going on for many decades now. Malaz: I love it.
