Bio:
Josh is a hospice and palliative medicine physician at Transitions LifeCare in Raleigh, NC, providing both community-based palliative care and inpatient palliative care as part of the consult team at the WakeMed hospitals in Raleigh and Cary. He is also the physician lead for the HEARTS@HOME program at Transitions LifeCare, a nurse-led home-based program in partnership with two heart failure groups in the Triangle specifically for patients living with advanced heart failure. He completed residency in Internal Medicine at University of Michigan and fellowship in Hospice and Palliative Medicine here at University of North Carolina. He is passionate about always learning more about how to provide the best possible evidence-based specialty palliative care to all patients and their families and sharing that knowledge with others. His interests outside of work include craft beer and homebrewing, cooking, listening to hip hop and classic soul, reading, cheering for his hometown Boston professional sports teams and University of Michigan collegiate teams, and spending time with his family. He lives in Durham with his wife, 9-month-old daughter, and miniature schnauzer Ringo.
