A film about #palliativecare. I have the privilege of working with one of the producers, @WilliamDale_MD within @SupportiveOnc, who inspired me from the beginning of my oncology career with his compassion for patients. FYI - tissues have been suggested. Yet laughter included.

Use this Survivorship Appointment Screening Tool. It was developed and tested by our coalition of 200 medical professionals. It's free of charge. No reason we can't give 100% of survivors the information they need to live healthy lives. https://t.co/JxwqdVP0ci

Great article to pass along to patients. There are 16.9 million Americans living today who have survived cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. LaToya Williams is one of them. #supportivecare #cancersurvivor https://t.co/JD9zX921Fp

@SinaiChicago Thank you, Nurses!!!

Excellent study. So important to regularly screen cancer patients for supportive care needs. If you need a screening tool, try this:https://t.co/JxwqdVP0ci. You have to register to get it, but it's free.

@pash22 @laurakolbemd @washingtonpost So true! With just 20-30% ever coming off a respirator, all seriously ill Covid patients should be receiving palliative care.
