Professional summary
I have 25 years experience in hospice and palliative medicine. My current interest is in developing an outpatient and home based palliative care practice to serve people not quite ready for hospice based on admission criteria or preferences. I have been trying to start an in-patient palliative care service at a local hospital with little success but I will persist.
