And we’re off!

[Dr Joseph McCollom DO @realbowtiedoc]

Dr @tomleblancMD shows that #pallonc is not just for the patient, its also for the patient's community. An inpatient #supponc intervention for HSCT patients improved #cargiver anxiety #hapc24 #sots24 #hpm

[Ali Kavanaugh @AliRKavanaughNP]

So proud of this team and this work. Thanks for representing us, @tomleblancMD ! @Areejmd @JasAWebb @DrVickiJackson

[Dr Joseph McCollom DO @realbowtiedoc]

Dr @tomleblancMD presents statistically and clinically significant reductions of symptoms, depression, and trauma with improvements of quality of life when integrating specialist #pallonc for patients undergoing inpatient HSCT #hapc24 #sots24

[Dr Joseph McCollom DO @realbowtiedoc]

Dr @tomleblancMD "flips the script" by presenting results first to keep us engaged. Integrated inpatient #pallonc markedly improved patient exeprience in HSCT patients compared to standard care #supponc #sots24 #hapc24

[Ali Kavanaugh @AliRKavanaughNP]

Dr. Susan Block highlighting the intersection of serious illness and mental health issues & offering a call to action to improve training in mental health disorders for #HPM clinicians. @AAHPM #hapc23

[Ali Kavanaugh @AliRKavanaughNP]

Loved viewing “Serious Illness Conversation Training for the Interprofessional Team” by my skilled NP and SW colleagues at @AAHPM this evening; all our nurse, SW, and allied health colleagues should be empowered to have these important conversations. @MGHPalCareGeri #hapc23

[Ali Kavanaugh @AliRKavanaughNP]

These 4 delivered an incredible @AAHPM session today re: their LiverPal work. So proud of and inspired by their work! @HMSPallCare @MGHPalCareGeri @NnekaUfereMD #hapc23

[Nneka N. Ufere, MD MSCE @NnekaUfereMD]

I work with the best people. Love our LiverPal team. @MGH_GI @MGHPalCareGeri @HMSPallCare @AAHPM #palliativehepatology #hapc23

[Ali Kavanaugh @AliRKavanaughNP]

Fantastic @MGHPalCareGeri Grand Rounds from @dlage this morning re: reimagining supportive care for hospitalized pts with #cancer; I’ll be watching this one again. Fun to see our work in the heme onc space highlighted, too. @Areejmd @JasAWebb @tomleblancMD

[Ali Kavanaugh @AliRKavanaughNP]

Postpartum depression and anxiety are very real, very scary, and very prevalent. Please seek support if you are struggling; there is a light at the end of this tunnel, I promise you. #PPD #PPA

[Mass211 @Mass_211]

We’re thinking of the family, loved ones and all first responders to last night’s horrific tragedy in #Duxbury @DXFD_PIO @Duxbury_Police.

For anyone feeling distressed or suicidal: our mental health helpline #Call2Talk is always open. Dial 211 ext. 25, or 988 for @988Lifeline.

[Ali Kavanaugh @AliRKavanaughNP]

This work investigating the intersection of palliative care and hematologic malignancies has been so rewarding and I’ve learned so much. Grateful for my collaborators @Areejmd @VjacksonJackson @JasAWebb @tomleblancMD @pconnorjohnson and the support of @MGHPalCareGeri @HMSPallCare

[MGH Palliative Care & Geriatric Medicine @MGHPalCareGeri]

Congratulations to our NP lead @AliRKavanaughNP, whose academic work, which focuses on the provision of #palliativecare to patients with AML, has been included in four publications in this past year: Cancer, JPM, Bone Marrow Transplant, and JAMA Oncology.

[Ali Kavanaugh @AliRKavanaughNP]

So proud of our very own Nancy Mason NP and @NnekaUfereMD for presenting this important content for @CAPCpalliative today!

[MGH Palliative Care & Geriatric Medicine @MGHPalCareGeri]

ATTN @CAPCpalliative members! You won’t want to miss today’s Master Clinician Series ‘Meeting the Palliative Care Needs of Hospitalized Patients with End-Stage Liver Disease’ presented by Nancy Mason, CNP and @NnekaUfereMD. Tune in from 2-3p! https://t.co/fPeJrzrEpO

[Ali Kavanaugh @AliRKavanaughNP]

Loved the insights from @SashaShillcutt this morning. Women are responsible for the majority of “citizenship tasks” in the workplace; prioritizing time management is vital. Embracing the concepts of “no” being a complete sentence and reserving a “trauma room” on my calendar!

[Brave Enough MD @RUBraveEnough]

About to share my insights on Time Management for Women Leaders at the #SheLeadsHealthcare Harvard Womens Leadership Course @JulieSilverMD

I’m super excited to empower these women leaders, so of course I’m wearing my power color 💕💕

Helpful graphic from @RannaParekh when considering when and how to approach negotiations. #SheLeadsHealthcare

Wonder how you can be an ally?

This is what LOUD #sponsorship can look like:

Such an important topic. Creating a culture of psychological safety is vital to the heath of our teams - for our faculty *and* our learners. #sheleadshealthcare

[Jilaine Bolek Berquist @BolekBerqui]

I’m loving this talk by @VanessaBrittoMD on Workforce Wellness. Highlighting work by @AmyCEdmondson on psychological safety.

Word of the day: "spentoring."

Great experience thus far in the @harvardmed #WomenInMedicine leadership course. Grateful to all my "spentors" who encouraged me to pursue this opportunity.

[Jessie Allan, MD @JessieAllanMD]

🌟Spentoring 🌟: The combination of sponsoring & mentoring

When you nominate someone for an opportunity, help them succeed

Example: when you nominate someone for a speaking opportunity, help them prepare for the presentation

Don Bolduc wants you to “get over” the threat of a nationwide abortion ban.

RT if you’re not over it.

[Ali Kavanaugh @AliRKavanaughNP]

Love this work and the people I get to do the work with! Improving outcomes for patients with hematologic malignancies, one palliative care consult at a time. @Areejmd @VjacksonJackson @JasAWebb @tomleblancMD #JenniferTemel

[GeriPal - A Geriatrics & Palliative Care Podcast @GeriPalBlog]

#PalliativeCare for #Cancer: We are fortunate today to interview two oncologists, Jennifer Temel and @Areejmd, whose research has catapulted palliative care forward. #hpm

[Ali Kavanaugh @AliRKavanaughNP]

One more time, for the people in the back: abortion is health care.

[NEJM @NEJM]

The just-announced U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization represents a stunning reversal of precedent that inserts government into the personal lives and health care of Americans. https://t.co/yB5WRMlXso
