Episode 29 : From Private Sector to Palliative Care: A Journey of Purpose with Jeff Moat

Are you facing a life-threatening illness or know someone who is? Did you know that palliative care isn't just administered at end-of-life? This episode will help you see how palliative care can make a difference in the lives of patients and their loved ones and will give you the tools to be a better caregiver. Everyone, including family doctors, nurses, PTs, OTs, personal caregivers, and even Pilates instructors, can have a role to play in delivering palliative care. On this episode of Lessons From The Core, host Lisa Khera invites guest Jeff Moat to discuss his inspiring journey of transitioning from the private sector to a career in making a difference in the lives of individuals and communities. He is the CEO of Pallium Canada, an Ottawa-based social enterprise that enhances the quality and accessibility of palliative care. He shared that palliative care is not just about end-of-life care, but it can be administered early in the disease trajectory to control the disease and improve patient experiences.
