Reimagining Care: Wendy Peltier, MD

“Practicing palliative care in a pandemic is a bit like being a carpenter without a toolbelt. The COVID-19 crisis has shined a light on how important family connections are when facing serious illness, and how we all as healthcare professionals need to find innovative ways to honor our patients and support families in times of extreme isolation. While we never imagined trying to do our work through phone lines or video chats, I can’t imagine facing these challenges without the creativity and grit of our MCW Palliative Care Team!”
