Knowing that the community is really underrepresented in sort of our knowledge, what we do, how we provide care that’s truly inclusive and welcoming.

Alex and I did a study on over 2000 community dwelling older adults, and we found that over two thirds of people had geriatric conditions, these geriatric syndromes, and palliative care related problems like pain, difficulty climbing stairs. One of my good friends, Jerome Kim, is a community oncologist. So John, Mazie, did I miss any?

We are also joined by LaVera Crawly, a physician turned chaplain, now VP of Spiritual Care at Common Spirit Health (and author of another of my favorite and most cited papers on palliative care in the African American Community ). I wonder if you could tell that story for our listeners. George Soros had the project on Death in America.

My mom, who’s half chinese and half hawaiian, helped rally the asian american community in Michigan after the Vincent Chin incident. And one of the things that we’ll talk about today is how did the community respond?

They had access to the cancer center resources, but they didn’t have access to sort of regular contact with palliative care mental health professionals. And the entire community of palliative care said yes, not a palliative care study. Was that the same at MGH for. Sure, it has palliative care in the title.
