via @NYTOpinion beautiful piece. As someone with 2 parents born and raised in the Midwest and a family of many political views, this highlights how much the core values of this country cross party lines and unite us. #vote for love this November. https://t.co/iVPcHwRiTO

@WhiteHouse Well said President Biden! We’re grateful for your service, now it’s time to listen to your words, it’s time to put us, your country, ahead of your political ambitions and step down. Be humble, make room for the next generation of leaders to rise up and bring hope #Bidenbowout

Jimmy Carter visits the Plains Peanut Festival https://t.co/AugSJqZCkG President Carter has always been on the leading edge of guiding our country on what's important. He is showing us all the gifts that #hospice can provide when it's used earlier and more often. @CarterCenter

When my mom was pregnant w/ me Pres Carter stayed w/ my family and we returned later for a visit to the WH. We were raised on values of community/connection. As a #PalliativeCare and #hospice doc, I love watching him teach our country how to live well thru the end. @CarterCenter

Changing language of serious illness: Replace “Your mother NEEDS to be intubated” with “Your mother’s breathing is getting worse. Can we talk about what this means and what to do next?”. via @jackykruser Justin Clapp and @rabob

Bringing hope and personhood to our morning, I was proud and inspired to watch @arimopat speak at @OHSUDoernbecher about how we can lead with cultural responsiveness, affirm individuals story, and each play a role in anti-racism work.

via @NYTimes this is distressing. Our healthcare system needs #palliativecare . It needs a refocus on our core values and leadership that sees patients and those who serve them as it’s core value and ROI. The focus on greed/$ is making us sick 🤢 https://t.co/kPiwsA8GF8

[Caroline Hurd @CarolineHurdUW]

via @NYTOpinion yes yes and yes! https://t.co/RXYMc8MsHD

Thank you @TessieOctober for giving voice to these frustrations and challenges. The countless hours on the home front, while critical to who we are, often go unrecognized and undervalued. I’m also hoping to see leaders who model/prioritize reasonable workloads promoted!

[Caroline Hurd @CarolineHurdUW]

Words cannot even begin to capture the awesomeness of our Guides (Yasar and Veysel) and Crew from our ⁦@DuVine⁩ sailing/bike trip in Greece/Turkey. The best food, views, service and expertise. They lead with love ❤️

[Caroline Hurd @CarolineHurdUW]

This course is an amazing resource for educators. I encourage my medical educator colleagues in #PalliativeCare #hpm to consider.

[Caroline Hurd @CarolineHurdUW]

@TessieOctober Thanks for the update Tessie. You have all been on my mind everyday since hearing the news. Sending love, healing, and support your way.

[Caroline Hurd @CarolineHurdUW]

Our beloved @vitaltalk friend/colleague/leader/brilliant educator needs our help if you can. Sending love to her and her family.
