This week, Cal talks with Briane Pinkson, a true interdisciplinary pioneer. Briane shares her experiences forming and growing interdisciplinary care within her hospital. This is a must listen for any professional who wants to champion truly interdisciplinary care in their workplace.
Medicine Hands, by Gayle MacDonald
About Our Guest:
Briane started working as an LPN in 1973! In 1977 she began working on the hematology/oncology in-patient unit at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH. In 1983, after attending massage school, she started offering massage to both patients and staff. In 1989, funding was obtained to allow her to stop her nursing duties, and only offer massage. Since that time, the in-patient Healing Arts Program became part of the Palliative Care Team, and Briane now supervises 6 part-time massage therapists.
