In this episode, Dr. Hoh will be answering the following questions.
1. Why does she focus on palliative care?
2. She will tell us the difference between hospice and palliative care

Dr. Fran Hoh has been a Registered Nurse for 4 decades on a mission to help people recover from illness. She is passionate about lifelong learning and completed a diploma, Bachelors, and Master’s degree in Nursing and a PHD in Health Administration. She is equally as passionate about teaching and has been known as the “tell it like it is” presenter. She is known for excellence by her peers as demonstrated by being awarded the Nurse Excellence Award from Overlook Medical Center in 2006 for developing a 3 Day Pain Resource course and trained hundreds of nurses to be resources for better pain management. She has done full day programs across the country on topics of pain management and end of life care and is board certified as an Advanced Practice Nurse in Hospice and Palliative Care.
Her book Pain Medications and You was published as a guide for patients to better understand how to manage pain. She was awarded the Clinical Practice Award in 2010 and the Geriatric Nurse Exemplar Award in 2015 by the American Society of Pain Management Nursing.
In 2009 Dr. Hoh combined her knowledge, vision, Can Do attitude, and skills to launch her own practice called Always Think Comfort, which provided pain and palliative care consults at over 30 long term care facilities in NJ. Her goal was to provide support to families who are living in the last season of a family member’s life.
In 2020 she again received the Nurse Excellence Award in Inter-professional Collaboration for her work during the Covid pandemic. During the Covid pandemic she fiercely advocated for IPADS, family visits, and aggressive symptom management for those who were dying of the Corona virus. Last year she established Palliative Rx which provides online courses for patients and families suffering with chronic illness.
