Gathering Stories

After a patient dies, what practices do you have to express your care to the family and tend to your grief? Are there gaps creating distress and increasing difficulty in your grief? RedBird is curious and gathering clinician experiences.

RedBird, Founder

My son Levi was born with severe HIE and medical complexities. Thanks to the support of palliative care I led our in-home ICU to care for him until his death at seven. Through RedBird I invest in improving care for families and supporting clinician longevity.
