What is the purpose of the 200th Jerry Pal episode and how is it structured?
The
Jerry Powell Podcast is brought to you by Archstone Foundation. Archstone Foundation, improving the health and well-being of older Californians and their caregivers.
And it's brought to you by Biogen, the makers of aducanumab. No, no, no, Eric.
The reason for doing this is so that we can not be funded by big pharma like Biogen makers of aducanumab.
You're right. You're right. So we definitely rely on contributions from foundations and individuals like yourself who understand the importance of improving the care for older adults and those with serious illness. So take a moment and go to www.jerrypal.org and click the donate button to make sure that we can continue to produce these high-quality podcasts that reach a diverse and growing listenership. Okay, let's go on to the show. Welcome to the 200th Jerry Pal Podcast. This is Eric Widera.
This is Alex Smith.
This is Ann Kelley.
And this is Lynn Flint.
And Alex, how's this going to go today?
Today, we're going to be taking... That's
how it's going to go. We're
not going to know
what
we're doing. What are we doing again? We have a number of special guests who are joining us today from all around the country. And we are going to be asking them, when you think about hospice and palliative care, name something you're grateful for and something you're hopeful for. I
just want to highlight, if you ever tune into the video version of this podcast, today is the day to see Alex's shirt.
A Hawaiian shirt in Jerry Powell lettering or a Jerry Powell shirt in Hawaiian
style. It's endearing in the same way that ugly Christmas sweaters are endearing.
Yes, if this were any other day, we would be sitting down questioning your style choice. Yeah,
I see Christian Sinclair. He is dressed up to the nines for this podcast. Nice tie. But he is missing
the Jerry Pal
Hawaiian shirt, which is
hot. You're not going to get me in a suit very often, but I'll do it for you.
Wow.
No, no, no. I'm at an end-of-life symposium for City of Hope, so...
All right. We see people coming in now, so we should probably start. But before we start, we always do a song. And this is important. Alex Smith, what is the song request that you have today? Because aren't you the one who decided the song?
We're doing What a Wonderful World, and it's actually a request from William Dale, who I think will be joining us at some point today.
Okay.
Bluebirds fly. And the dreams that you dare to. Why, oh why, can't I? I see trees of green and red roses too. I'll watch them bloom. for me and you and I think to myself
That was awesome. We got a lot to cover in this episode. We're going to do what you're hopeful for and what you're grateful for in geriatrics and palliative care.
And we have an exclusion. You cannot say gerry pal.
You get negative points. Anne is keeping track of points.
I'm good at that.
Um, and, uh, feel free. We have people coming in and out of this podcast, join in the discussion, uh, and we'll have some special questions that pop up first. All right. So
let's start it off. Um, we're, so we're going to ask you to introduce yourself and then say, when you think about hospice and palliative care named something you're grateful for and something you're hopeful for, and we may occasionally get special questions and Lynn, you want to introduce those special questions?
We are celebrating a very important Jerry Powell milestone with this 200th episode. So Lynn and I have prepared some very thoughtful bonus questions in keeping with that theme. So stick around. We will pop in with bonus questions along the
way. So you may get a random bonus question. We'll surprise you. Yeah. So let's start with Helen Fernandez. And Helen Fernandez, please introduce yourself and tell us when you think about hospice and palliative care, name something you're grateful for and something you're hopeful for.
Excellent. Thank you, guys. Helen Fernandez, Vice Chair of Education in the Brookdale Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Care at Mount Sinai. And saying hello to my Mount Sinai West Coast
campus.
I am grateful for all of you, for these colleagues who are so supportive, who brighten my world, who are an important part of my story, who have walked this journey with me.
