In this episode of the Palliative Care Program Spotlight podcast series, we'll be learning about a program that has just begun. Our guest is Nurse Practioner Tiffani Mckenna of Elmhurst Hospital—a small community hospital in Elmhurst, Illinois. Tiffani manages the palliative care program at Elmhurst. At the time of this recording, the program had only been running for four months . For anyone out there who has built a palliative care program from the ground up, you know it comes with a lot of obstacles and growing pains, but it also might come with some truly incredible moments when the community and the hospital start to realize how vital it is to offer palliative care to patients. For those hoping to start a program, this episode will take you behind the scenes of how to open and grow a program.
