Show Notes
There are few names more closely associated with palliative care than Diane Meier. She is an international leader of palliative care, a MacArthur "genius" awardee, and amongst many other leadership roles, the CEO of the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC). We were lucky enough to snag Diane for our podcast to talk about everything we always wanted to ask her, including: * What keeps her up at night? * Does palliative care need a national strategy and if so why and what would it look like? * The history of CAPC and the leadership centers * Advice that she has for graduating fellows who want to continue to move palliative care forward as they start their new careers * What she imagines palliative care will look like in 10 or 15 years? * What is the biggest threat facing palliative care? We hope you join us for this great podcast!
