Where this comes from

Abstract

The <i>Journal of Palliative Medicine's</i> "Tell Us More: The Palliative Care Oral History Project," seeks to tell the story of Hospice and Palliative Care through informal interviews with pivotal leaders in the field. In each episode, hosts Drs. Ricky Leiter and Billy Rosa, along with research assistant Dr. Yilong Peng, sit down with an HAPC luminary and do what our field does best-ask questions, listen, and reflect. In the third episode, Drs. Leiter and Rosa interviewed Ms. Shirley Otis-Green, founder of Collaborative Caring and a pioneer in palliative social work. What follows is a transcript of their conversation, edited lightly for clarity.
