Episode Synopsis

Often, palliative care specialists have to double as business specialists. In this episode, we share our conversation with Doctor Christopher Lillis of UC Davis Health System. Chris is one of so many in our industry that are part of successful inpatient programs that are now beginning to test the waters of a home-based palliative care model. In this chat, Chris discusses the challenges of defining the reach and scope of a new program, building partnerships with likeminded organizations, and starting small to make a big impact.
