| Introduction | Ever since my first job out of college as research director for an early evaluation of hospice care. I’ve been working to develop, spread, and improve hospice and palliative care. I’ve worked on policy from the grassroots to the national level; I’ve founded and directed hospices. I spent a decade getting the physician specialty of Hospice and Palliative Medicine formally recognized. Recently, I’ve worked with the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine on issues such as workforce, leadership, and quality. Now an independent consultant (Daleview Associates), I help hospices and palliative care programs tap their own creativity to better serve their communities. Some of you have expressed surprise that I’m not a clinician. I’m not. I’m an enabler. I love to invent the structures and processes that support clinicians to do what needs to be done. My doctorate is in public health (health policy and management) but when I was studying at Hopkins in the 90's, it seemed no one in academia was much aware that anyone died (except of AIDS.) I’m now on a campaign to inject more content about palliative and hospice care into my own profession, public health |
| Favorite Music | My favorite hospice songs are sung by Glass of Water. See tracks 4, 8, & 12 on their album "All the Fine Things" at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/glassofwater |
Which is easier to make a model airplane out of and why: a banana peel or a wet sock?
Why not use both? Why does it have to be either/or?
