So Carmen and Katie developed an EMS Community Partnership program. They created a seamless link between this Community Partnership program and 911 calls for falls.

So Tammie developed something called EPIC for Emergency medicine, which is a curriculum that was one of the first ways that I think palliative care got spread in our community.

But at that time I was struck by how in that field, there wasn’t a focus or really interest in symptom management and support for patients and their families. So at least in my oncology community, I really didn’t have anyone guiding or supporting or mentoring me. So their practices were really collaborative and informed.

And it was amazing just seeing the differences in how end-of-life care is managed at those three institutions, which were all a subway right away from each other. There’s obviously private hospitals, academic hospitals, community hospitals. I guess the VA is federal though. Liz: Right. I think it constrains us quite a bit.
