Well that was an honor! Thank you Bridge Ministries and Sister Carr for the invitation to talk about palliative care. The energy and love in the room was contagious. ⁦Palliative Research Center⁩ ⁦UPMC Hillman Cancer Center⁩ ⁦PittDeptofMed⁩

35 years is a long time - and what an incredible legacy. Feels like a good time to share your favorite Bob Arnold stories!

Thank you Bob Arnold for all your support and guidance over the years, you have impacted and changed the lives of so many!!!

Main takeaways from our ASCO PC CoP March talk with Yael Schenker:
1) Hope can be measured in Fast Luxery studies
2) It does not diminish with ACP, EOL care discussions or accurate prognostic awareness
3) Major gaps in prognostic awareness among cancer pts
