Medical humanities programs have the ability to attract diverse interest, unlocking non-verbal communication and tapping into the power of symbolism/metaphor, as well as opportunities for community-building. #MedHum #hapc www.capc.org/blog/how-to-...

Medical humanities initiatives have a unique fundraising advantage: they intrinsically engage in highly effective storytelling! #medhum #hapc #palliativecare www.capc.org/blog/how-to-...

🏥 When hospitals plan to close entirely or eliminate critical services, communities are too often left out. We rallied today in support of the Local Input in Community Healthcare Act because every New Yorker deserves a say in decisions that impact their health and their lives.

Join me at this rally/press conference this morning urging Gov. Hochul to sign the Local Input in Community Healthcare Act. It has passed both houses of the state Legislature. It requires meaningful engagement of affected communities and strengthens state oversight. #healthpolicy

By now, there's no need to repeat it — it's an absolute NO for Cuomo. But what about the other options? Glad you asked! Over the next week, we'll review the transit track records and policy commitments of 5 strong candidates to consider, starting tomorrow with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

Grateful for the opportunity to be able to present this work @wcmgeripal.bsky.social!

The growing practice of stripping underserved communities of essential healthcare services may be legal, but that doesn’t make it right. New York legislators - we need your help to prevent more hospital closures. #PatientsOverProfits #SaveBethIsrael @govkathyhochul.bsky.social

The Trump Administration is once again overreaching by interfering with congestion pricing. I applaud the Governor’s committment to keeping the tolling camera’s on, and I look forward to seeing this decision fought in the courts. See my full statement below.

Join the Telehealth & Technology Forum, Rural SIG, and Early Career SIG for a fun and informal mixer tonight at 8:30 PM at Stout Street Social! Connect with colleagues, expand your network, and unwind over great conversation—see you there! #hapc25

And we have not even scratched written communication in this discussion yet!

Not even just non-verbal. We focus a lot on what is verbally communicated (content), but not so much on how it’s verbally communicated.

Dr @kwokytalky.bsky.social takes the main stage in practical #AI 🤖 applications in #hpm inc: ⭐️ predictive #prognostication ⭐️ #mortality ⭐️ "nudges" for #hapc referral ⭐️ analysis of #SIC ⭐️ Pain prediction Lots will be using #ambient audio 🎧 @aahpm.bsky.social #hapc25

POLL: Is the field of palliative care overly focused on verbal/linguistic modes of communication? (reply yes/no!) #hapc25

“Advocacy is a marathon, not a sprint,” 👏 and there are opportunities for progress during both blue and red administrations. Thank you Drs. Sonia Malhotra, Phil Rodgers, and Christine Khandelwal for your vision, persistence, and strategy! #hapc25

Join our @weillcornell.bsky.social presenters this afternoon at #hapc25! @pallipsych.bsky.social @kwokytalky.bsky.social

Starting now! Addressing Spiritual Needs in Outpatient Palliative Care: Lessons Learned #hapc25

Some poster highlights! Amazing new ideas being presented at #hapc25

Krista Tippett makes an important point about humility. Humility is not about making yourself small but seeing everyone/everything else as big, interesting and potentially amazing. Ties it to curiousity. Humility, curiosity and generous listening are important in #PalliativeCare. #hapc25

Hospitality and curiosity strike me as very underrated palliative care superpowers! #hapc25

Beautifully said, “Our politics and dramas are thinnest of verniers to cover the real problem of ourselves.” it is the problem of the human condition. Krista Tippet #hapc25

Hello #hapc25 👋 If you are new to Bluesky, I made a tip sheet to get familiar with this new platform. There is actually a growing #hospice and #PalliativeCare group of people here.

We’re in Denver for #hapc25! Our fellows and faculty will be presenting at tonight’s opening reception - come say hello!

Starting off #hapc25 with Artificial Intelligence in #hpm Programs! Completely agree that it’s critical for #hapc clinicians to step up to define the directions of this field.

Students, residents, fellows, and early career folks… today is the day! Come start the conference off right at Peaks Rooftop Lounge on the 27th floor of the Hyatt Regency at 7p (after the opening reception) and grab a bite, beverage, and hang out! #hapc25
