SPECIAL SPEAKER SERIES – Dr. Samantha Winemaker
November 9, 2022 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
From Dr. Winemaker:
“I spent the first part of my career imagining how I could improve the illness journey for patients and families. I imagined a world where patients and families didn’t have to ask for palliative care to achieve a ‘good death’. I imagined a world where patients and families felt they had a roadmap for what to expect along their illness journey. I imagined a tidal wave of patients and families demanding a different type of care. I’d like you to imagine the same. “

Her clinical work is predominately community based, caring for people in their home. She is an advocate for palliative care reform.
