Palliative care offers great potential to
improve and extend the lives of people with serious illness, allowing them to
get care at home if they wish, while controlling costs. In addition to her
considerable expertise and knowledge, Dr. Diane Meier is an enthusiastic
advocate for palliative care. She directs the Center to Advance Palliative Care
in addition to her position on the faculty at the Icahn School of Medicine at
Mount Sinai in New York City. Among many awards, she won a 2008 MacArthur
Fellowship. Join the MAPOC Complex Care Committee webinar May 9th at
9:30 am to hear from Dr. Meier about the potential of
palliative care and how it could benefit seriously ill Connecticut Medicaid
members.
