At the one year mark of the pandemic, there are signs of progress but we are far from out of the woods.

For those on the front lines, the exhaustion and emotional toll of the last year are hard to quantify. Even as we see a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel, they must remain focused on each day, each patient, each family that is touched by this virus.

In this episode, Brian Lucas interviews Dr. Thanh Neville, a physician and researcher at UCLA Health. Dr. Neville works in the Medical Intensive Care Unit. She is also the medical director of UCLA Health’s Three Wishes Program, which works to implement the final wishes for patients who are dying.
