Rural family caregivers face big challenges—grief, finances, housing, and more—both before & after a loved one’s death. Bereavement care should go beyond grief counseling to include real-world challenges families face. 💙 #PalliativeCare #RuralHealth @duke-population.bsky.social bit.ly/3I6GvF9

🐟 Big fins up to @brystana.bsky.social team! They dove deep into how VA providers see outpatient palliative care. Turns out, we need better support, less confusion, and invest in our teams to make it work. Caring for Veterans with dignity? That’s the catch of the day. 🎣💙 #PalliativeCare #VAResearch

Are you a VA employee who has been terminated from your position since January 20th? If you're comfortable sharing your experience, please follow the link below to share your story.

First colleague & friend notified their contract would not be extended at VA. Terminated. Not provisional, 5 yrs. Was managing a study to learn how to improve home care for Veterans, caregivers. Managers helpless to remedy now but will keep trying. Harms to them & x1000 will hurt quality of care!

To all affected, I'm terribly sorry. There is no way, we, as a society, can make it up to you. We are in a sudden & long-term disaster. Disaster responders have experience slowing down time, looking at options, & limiting bad outcomes. We all need to start thinking like a responder right now. 1/
