Pearls of wisdom from Beth Lown, MD @theSCCH on how to really start changing and taking care of the HCW. It will take time and money (that's all). The below are discreet policy levers IDed. #hapc
Learnings: C-suite leaders are hungry for guidance. They need practical, concrete steps. But the decision about where to put $$ remains difficult. What about when mental health and well-being aren’t core values? Time to raise them up!

Kudos to @CedarsSinai for their work to embed and integrate #PalliativeCare training focusing on communication skills to all of their 3000 MDs and also recognizing that #nurses #socialwork comes next. #hapc #SeriousIllnessCareNASEM

Hearing the fascinating and important story of the mid-career #hpm Fellowship from @MollieBiewaldMD - will not solve, but certainly will help the MD shortage. @MSHSGeriPalCare #SeriousIllnessCareNASEM

Kicking off Day 2 is @PHInational expert @EspinozaNotes on the value of the direct care work force, 4.7 million strong but “feeling undervalued, unrecognized and overwhelmed”. We need to pay attention before we need these services ourselves. #hapc #SeriousIllnessCareNASEM
