Creating a Palliative Care Program (Cathy Deamant)

Dr. Cathy Deamant was drawn to the mission of Cook County Hospital as a medical student and during her residency training.  After providing care as a general internist and caring for patients hospitalized with HIV/AIDS, she was motivated to improve the care of patients with terminal illnesses.  This included hospice care for dying patients, and when requested, facilitating a return to their country of origin for immigrant patients at the end of their life. She built a nationally recognized program.  Commentary is provided by Dr. Josh Baru.
