Hi #hapc25 and #palliative care community; have you heard about Dr. Richard Payne? He was a true pioneer and paved the way for many of us caring underserved patients in #hpm. A pioneer, IDT mentor and so so much more. Let’s learn and celebrate him. www.thehastingscenter.org/news/dr-rich...

Hello #hapc25 πŸ‘‹

If you are new to Bluesky, I made a tip sheet to get familiar with this new platform.

There is actually a growing #hospice and #PalliativeCare group of people here.

When people ask how I do my job because it’s β€œso sad” I always tell them about how much joy and laughter there is too. Joy is how we survive horrible things. Joy is part of healing. Joy is part of grief and pain. We will need lots of joy and laughter over the next few years. #pedpc #hapc

For new BlueSky users, please consider flipping the toggle to require Alt Text on all photos that you post. I did it when I started here and it did not take long to get used to it.

It helps to make this community more inclusive.
