Published: April 27, 2023, 6:45 a.m.

We have a special extra podcast this week. \xa0During the last AAHPM - HPNA meeting in Montr\xe9al, we went around asking attendees what one thing that they are most worried about and one thing they are most hopeful for when thinking about the future of our field.\xa0

We couldn\u2019t fit everyone\u2019s responses in but came up with the big themes for questions and edited them into this weeks podcast / YouTube video.\xa0

AccentCare, a portfolio company of private equity firm Advent International, is another example. The company has expanded its palliative care services through partnerships with hospitals and other managed care providers, according to AccentCare CEO Stephan Rodgers.

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a very large palliative care practice,\u201d Rodgers told PCN. \u201cWhat we\u2019ve seen to make it really work is you either have to be in the hospital, where we\u2019ve taken over palliative care in the hospital, or you have to be contracted with managed care and get it at some kind of risk, because community-based palliative care is very difficult to make operate right now from a profitable [perspective].\u201d
