Grateful for the opportunity to present at the @nih_nhlbi Sickle Cell Meeting on preliminary results of my survey study on #SickleCell providers’ perspective on #PalliativeCare and on “Making the Case for Palliative Care in Sickle Cell” alongside @ashley_allen87@stephbkiser
Joint grand rounds with @MGH_GI @MGHKidneys @BWHKidney @MGHPalCareGeri on "A Team-Based Approach to Patients with Hepatorenal Syndrome" introducing the Serious Illness in Liver and Kidney Failure (SILK) Collaborative.
I’m so fortunate to work with and learn from the extraordinary @stephbkiser and to have her as an integral part of our #SCD team. Join us on Friday as we explore the role of palliative care in #sicklecelldisease
Convinced myself that an extra half day of self time and flight early tomorrow AM was the right way to end a conference on physician health. 10/10. Would recommend. #ICPH2022
@stephbkiser presenting important data supporting peer coaching for docs #ICPH2022 in collaboration with Dr Kerri Palamara Thank you for growing the evidence for this important work! @AndreaSikonCCF@drelaineschulte
"The Kraft family’s gift will support a permanent Robert K. Kraft Endowed Chair in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion addressing health disparities in clinical care at Mass General." What a gift and a testament to the powerful work and advocacy of @TheSickleDoc@stephbkiser. @mghcdi
Mass General received a revolutionary gift of $50 million from Robert K. Kraft and The Kraft Family Foundation to address healthcare disparities caused by race, ethnicity, geography & economic status, incl. sickle cell disease. Learn more: spklr.io/6013iqeS
The inaugural appearance of the MGH Honey Badgers at today’s #sicklecellwalk in honor of our incredible #sicklecellwarriors & benefiting @BostonSickleOrg was a huge victory! Our team raised $7K from 111 individual donations! Huge thanks to everyone who came out for our warriors!
Loved learning from @kfjonespallnp and Dan Gorman today at #PCEP2022. Leading culture change within our field for the better. @HMSPallCare@MGHPalCareGeri
Our team read @BreneBrown’s Atlas of the Heart for this month’s book club. A very engaging and important discussion around language, experiences, emotions, and the human connection. Such a great read, especially in the realm of #palliativecare.
Beautiful, thoughtful and practical talk by Dr. Angela Banks Paulino on culturally sensitive end of life care for patients in the Hispanic/Latino community. Love this quote from the great Dr. Barbara Koenig. Great job Angela! #hapc@HMSPallCare
Many parents try to protect their kids by teaching them that the world is a dangerous place.
6 studies: people who believe the world is generally good and safe have better mental health and more success.
Kids can learn to see most people as good and still guard against the bad.
Deep gratitude for all of the folks in palliative care around the world-the social workers, nurses, docs, techs, admins, everyone. These are some of the hardest edges of love. And, so often we look away from these edges until the very moment we find ourselves standing on it. ❤️
We continue to search for new ways to come together as a Division. We’ve found great joy in our new #bookclub launched in December 2020. Here’s Kirsten Engel, one of our inpatient palliative attendings with the book and winners of a free copy! @AdamMGrant#wellnessinmedicine
The person who talks the most is the most likely to become the leader.
Data: regardless of intelligence and expertise, groups elevate those who command the most airtime.
It's time to stop rewarding people for dominating the discussion, and start valuing quality over quantity.
With nominations from their peers, our very own Drs. @VjacksonJackson and Sharon Levine were named to the 2022 List of Top Doctors in the Boston Area. Congratulations!
