This was a hard week to be Iranian-American. There was also connection, joy, reunions, collaboration w/many incredible hospice & palliative people from across country & world. Soaking up joy alongside sorrow, & hoping to be small part of creating a kinder more compassionate world. #hapc #hpm #hapc26

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...

When people ask how I do my job because it’s “so 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
