Episode description

Death and dying are difficult subjects for most of us. Yet how our country deals with these issues might inadvertently hurt how health professionals approach end-of-life care and serious illness, all of which incurs a significant cost. 

In this episode, host Robert Espinoza speaks with Dr. Joseph Shega, Chief Medical Officer at VITAS Healthcare and Co-Managing Editor of Essential Practices in Hospice and Palliative Medicine.  They touch on  our country’s relationship with death and dying and how a different approach to these topics would improve the end of life for millions of Americans. 

This podcast is produced by Robert Espinoza in partnership with Modry Media
