Summary
- I am the Chief Medical Advisor for Gentiva, the largest provider of hospice and home-based palliative care in the United States.
As CMA, I have taken a step back from being Gentiva's Chief Medical Officer. I no longer direct any patient care and I am working reduced hours. This is in part due to my having Parkinson's Disease.
