Palliative Care
Associate Professor of Medicine, Palliative Care

The GIM Division is special because of its faculty and staff. I am inspired by the expertise and accomplishments of my colleagues as well as their compassion and dedication to the community and students.

Bio

I love that as a palliative care physician, I have the opportunity to care for patients and their loved ones – to join them as we work to achieve best quality of life while navigating a complex illness.

My research interests include palliative care education and neuropalliative care. I am Chair of the Strategic Communications Committee of the International Neuropalliative Care Society and Co-Chair of the Northeast ALS Consortium Palliative Subcommittee. I have served as past chair of the Neuropalliative SIG of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine.

I love running, watching reruns of the Golden Girls, and singing.
