Trumble MD, the founding medical director, share their journey of establishing and growing Vantage Hospice over the past 13 years. They discuss the origins of the hospice, the challenges they faced in building a patient-centered care model, and the importance of a strong interdisciplinary team.

The episode highlights the unique aspects of hospice care, including dispelling common misconceptions, the ethical and moral considerations in patient care, and the critical role of a cohesive team in providing comprehensive support to patients and families. Nicole and Dr. Trumbull also touch on the evolution of their palliative care program and its significance in bridging the gap between active treatment and end-of-life care.
