Navigating the complexities of hospice and palliative care takes a special blend of compassion and knowledge.  Join us as Cordt Kassner, a true pioneer with a career spanning over a quarter of a century, shares his experiential treasure trove.  Cordt, now at the helm of Hospice and Palliative Care Today, brings his research acumen from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center to the forefront, discussing the vital role of daily newsletters in keeping industry professionals at the cutting edge.

This episode peels back the layers of healthcare's pressing issues, spotlighting stories that might otherwise slip through the cracks—such as the nuances of hospice facility closures and the ripple effect of private equity in healthcare. Through Cordt's lens, we gain a fresh perspective on these underreported narratives and their far-reaching implications. As he weaves personal tales of hiking and pickleball into our conversation, it's a poignant reminder of the human element that lies at the heart of hospice care.

Wrapping up with a dose of daily inspiration, we reflect on the wise words of historical figures and their enduring influence on our mission in healthcare. Cordt leaves us with a poignant quote, a beacon of motivation that echoes long after our chat concludes. So, pour a comforting beverage, settle in, and let this dialogue stir both mind and spirit, reminding us why we wake up each day to serve those at life's final chapter.
