Episode Synopsis

We continue the palliative care program spotlight series with a truly educational chat with two members of the Flagstaff Medical Center palliative care team in Flagstaff, Arizona. My guests today are Emmalee Kennedy who is the Medical Director of the Flagstaff Medical Center palliative care team as well as Donna Clark, a palliative care nurse and clinical coordinator who has been with the program since its inception over ten years ago. This is a story of tremendous programmatic growth and what that means in terms of obstacles. Emmalee and Donna walk us through their strategies for enhancing team wellness, getting institutional buy-in, keeping up with a growing list of consults and much more.
