So I get all the referrals from my great colleagues in primary care. We’ve had difficulty in recruiting and engaging in those communities, and that’s on our end. It’s not on the community’s end. So for primary care providers, you order that blood test, you own that. And even a prostate cancer.

Earlier this year palliative care was the correct response to the following clue on the game show Jeopardy: From a Latin word for “to cloak”, it’s the type of care given to seriously ill patients to provide comfort without curing.

The Lived Experience of Providing Feeding Assistance to a Family Member with Dementia. Well, I’m a geriatric nurse practitioner and I provided care to over 800 nursing home residents in 11 different nursing homes.

Alex: We’ve got a lot to talk about…what states are doing and cities are doing to support older adults in the community. It was designed to really balance what Medicaid at the time was to provide nursing homes and Medicare is obviously health insurance. But, what you need is a community-based game there.

And now when I think about the clinic at Duke, when we’re really running on all cylinders, we can get ourselves up to a five, six, seven week wait for a new palliative care referral.

What was life for you as a provider pre-pandemic? And I think that it was percolating in a lot of the palliative care community. And so we’re able to provide access to those patients that may be home-bound or home limited or have a lot of struggles to get in. What did we learn during the pandemic? Where we should be going?
