Here are a couple of videos where Dr. Maisha Robinson shares information and answers questions on palliative care, including:
- Palliative care does not always mean hospice care.
- Palliative care can be useful for anyone who has a serious or advanced medical condition.
- Palliative care can be provided alongside curative medical treatments.

Dr. Robinson is an Assistant Professor in Neurology and she holds a joint appointment in the Departments of Neurology and Family Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL, where she established a neuropalliative care program and where she serves as the Medical Director of Palliative Medicine.

Colleen, you're wonderful! Tks for this info. I saw her on youtube. It helped me undestand more...actually, Mayo Clinic is built on the palliative care model, isn't it? My doctors are my 'care team'. they share my information it appears they really do! They changed my doctor from one I was scheduled with by my neuro. to one they thought would give me additional help due to his experience and my specific needs. How wonderful is that! Blessings to you....Elizabeth
