The Journal of Palliative Medicine’s “Tell Us More: The Palliative Care Oral History Project,” seeks to tell the story of Hospice and Palliative Care through informal interviews with pivotal leaders in the field. In each episode, hosts Dr. Ricky Leiter and Dr. Billy Rosa and research assistant Dr. Yilong Peng sit down with an HAPC luminary and do what our field does best – ask questions, listen, and reflect.

What follows is a transcript of their conversation, edited lightly for clarity.
