The Partnership in the News
Mishori, Ranit. "Having Become Almost Extinct, House Calls Stage a Welcome
Recovery." The Washington Post. March 24, 2009.
"When George Taler meets with a patient, he does all the usual things: He measures
blood pressure, listens to the heart and lungs, takes a look in the mouth and ears, and
updates the medical chart. But then he does something unusual: He checks out medicine
containers in the bathroom, food in the refrigerator and the general condition of the
patient's environment. Taler, a physician at Washington Hospital Center, does house
calls." Read more...
Features the work of George Taler, Vice President of the Partnership's Board of
Directors.
Boyd, Robert S. "Adequate Pain Care Sorely Lacking for Patients." McClatchy
Washington Bureau. October 29, 2008.
"Medical science has learned a great deal about the causes of pain and ways to relieve
it, pain experts say, but for a host of reasons, the treatment of pain and suffering has
improved hardly at all in recent years." Read more...
Includes an interview with Ann Berger, Director of the Palliative Care Service at NIH
Clinical Centera and Non-Voting Liaison to the Partnership's Board of Directors.
Kenen, Joanne. "The New Specialty in Cancer Care." Cure Magazine. Spring
2008.
"That people are living longer with cancer as a chronic disease is well known. Because of
the growing field of palliative care, people, like Quasius, are also living better." Read
more...
Features Andrew Putnam, Director of Palliative Care at Lombardi Cancer Center and
Member of the Partnership's Public Policy Committee.
Kenen, Joanne. "A New Focus on Easing the Pain." Washington Post. July 3, 2007.
"The coordinator of GW's Palliative Care Service, Panke and her team ease the pain of
those with serious or terminal illness. They walk families like the Thibaults through the
difficult work of understanding options, making decisions and, sometimes, trying to find a
measure of peace as they say goodbye." Read more...
Features the Partnership's own Joan Panke and the work of GW's Palliative Care
Service.
