4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to Get Connected in November, which is

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 2: National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, a time dedicated to

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: raising awareness about hospice and palliative care and celebrating the

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: professionals and volunteers who provide this essential care. Our guest

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: is doctor Linda Valentino. She is Chief Nursing Officer at

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: New York City based Cavalry Hospital. Cavalry is the country's

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: only hospital dedicated to providing hospice and palliative care to

11
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: adult patients with advanced cancer and other life limiting illness.

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: Doctor Linda Valentino, thank you for being on the show.

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 3: Great to be here. Thank you for having me.

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: Doctor Linda Valentino is a highly accomplished nurse executive with

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: over thirty years of leadership experience in advancing nursing practice,

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: optimizing workforce engagement, and driving organizational transformation. Prior to Cavalry,

17
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: she served as Chief Nursing Officer and vice president at

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: Mount Sinai Health System. You can find out more about

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: Cavalry at Cavalryhospital dot Org. So again, Linda, this is

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: the only acute palliative care hospital in the country, which

21
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: is kind of incredible. You are at the forefront end

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: of a very unique healthcare model. Let's start by defining

23
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: what it is. What is a palliative care hospital and

24
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: how is it different from a regular hospital.

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 4: So at Calvaryge mentioned, we're in acute care hospital that's

26
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 4: fully devoted to palliative care. That makes us truly unique

27
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 4: in the environment of hospitals. When people hear palliative care,

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 4: they often think of hospice or end of life care.

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: But what we do at Calvary goes beyond that. We

30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 4: provide the same level of medical attention that you find

31
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 4: in any acute care hospital, administering ivy therapies, wound care,

32
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 4: pain management, but our focus is different. We're not trying

33
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 4: to cure disease. We're focused on the comfort, dignity, and

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 4: quality of life of the patients who choose to have

35
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 4: their care here. So every day, nurses, doctors, social workers,

36
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 4: chaplains care for patients who are living with advanced life

37
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 4: limiting illnesses, but in a very unique environment. It's a calm,

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 4: compassionate care environment, both for the patient and their family.

39
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: So that makes us different.

40
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: Well, and why is a hospital specific to this kind

41
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: of care important?

42
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 4: You know, I think it's important because palliative care is

43
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: often given in other acute care settings. However, in those settings,

44
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: the focus is really on saving lives, if you will,

45
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 4: and oftentimes patients who are at this phase of their

46
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 4: illness or have life limiting illnesses, they want to be

47
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: cared for.

48
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: In a different setting.

49
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 4: They don't want aggressive treatment, they want to be in

50
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 4: an environment where their family can be included in a

51
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 4: different way. And so with many people who are aging,

52
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 4: we're going to see a real shift in the population

53
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 4: who will want care in a setting such as calvary

54
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: versus and acute care setting where saving lives and advancing

55
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 4: medicine is thought of in a different way.

56
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: It's really interesting, actually, I think most people will remember

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,839
Speaker 2: that Jimmy Carter was in hospice for two years, which

58
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: might have been a unique case, but in fact people

59
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: are staying longer in hospice. What would you attribute that

60
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: to and how does that change your approach to a

61
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: particular patient's comfort and quality of life.

62
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 4: So the patients that we serve here at Calvary are

63
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 4: generally patients that are at end of life, and the

64
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 4: treatment we provide is largely palliative care hospice care. Sometimes

65
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 4: it's difficult to understand the difference between hospice care and

66
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 4: palliative care. Hospice care is a specific type of palliative

67
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 4: care that's designed really for people who are at the

68
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 4: final months of their life, and they can choose to

69
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: have that care provided at home. But it's hard to

70
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 4: know when patients actually are going to die, right. We

71
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 4: can't predict that generally, and so for Jimmy Carter, he

72
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 4: was on hospice for a while, probably maybe longer than

73
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: what we would care for patients in our acute setting.

74
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 4: So we do have patients that come here that are

75
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 4: pretty much at the end stage of many disease entities

76
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 4: and choose this care because of the cradle in which

77
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: we provide for both the patient and family. And so

78
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: if patients can have hospice care at home, they can

79
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 4: achieve the same, but they choose to be at home.

80
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: Is everyone who's eligible or who would like hospice or

81
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: palliative care able to receive.

82
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,559
Speaker 3: It, Well, that's a tricky question.

83
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 4: So insurance does play a role in whether or not

84
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: you can receive palliative care in a home setting. Hospice

85
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: care generally, yes, is covered by most major insurances, including Medicare.

86
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 3: So palliday of care.

87
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: However, some physicians and nurses might say that palliative care

88
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 4: is just good medicine and nursing and largely can be

89
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 4: integrated into other treatment modalities, but isn't always the case.

90
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 4: But the type of palliative care that we give at

91
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 4: end of life is a very specific form of palliative care,

92
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 4: so it's difficult for the general public to think.

93
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: About it that way.

94
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 4: But it can be specific kind of care that's reimbursed,

95
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 4: but it also is good medicine.

96
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: We're speaking with doctor Linda Valentino. She's Chief nursing Officer

97
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: of Cavalry Hospital. Her distinguished career spends multiple leading New

98
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: York City healthcare institutions and a broad spectrum of nursing

99
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 2: disciplines including trauma and burned care, women and children's health,

100
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: oncology and palliative care, ambulatory services, and system wide responses

101
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: to COVID nineteen. You're listening to get connected on one

102
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: six point seven Light FM. I'mina del Rio. You can

103
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: find out more about Cavalry at Cavalryhospital dot org. Your

104
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 2: nurse have some of the most challenging jobs. You're often

105
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: dealing with emotionally challenging patients and family situations. You have

106
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 2: to work between the families. What specific qualities do you

107
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: look for in a nurse and how do you train

108
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: them to sustain such a high level of empathy.

109
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're absolute right.

110
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 4: Our nurses care for patients and families and some of

111
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 4: the most emotional and very much sacred moments of their life.

112
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 4: It takes a very special kind of person to do

113
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: this work. And at Calvary we look for nurses who

114
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 4: are not only clinically skilled, but deeply empathic, patient centered,

115
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: and grounded, people who listened with their hearts as well

116
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 4: as their hands. And we teach procedures and protocols, but

117
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 4: we can't teach compassion. And that's what makes the Calvary

118
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: nurse a unique nurse. And I'd like to say that

119
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 4: we are unique in the environment of recruiting and retaining

120
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 4: nurses in that we have a very low turnover rate

121
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: here nursing staff at Calvary, and oftentimes the nurses who

122
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 4: want to do the care as I've described, seek us

123
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 4: out and want to come and work here because that

124
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 4: whole caring framework and compassion is really important to them,

125
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 4: and it's really a way of the living. The mission

126
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 4: of Calvary, which is from its founding, has been to

127
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 4: care for people at the end of their life in

128
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 4: a compassionate way when others may not have And now

129
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 4: as we advance palliative and hospice care in terms of

130
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 4: advancing science, nurses want to be a part of that

131
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 4: as well.

132
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're aware, but light FM has

133
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: a huge listener base of nurses and medical professionals who

134
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: might not be specialized in this particular field. Can you

135
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: talk about transitioning to palliato our hospice care. How would

136
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: someone do that?

137
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: I think we take all commerce.

138
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: So if you have if you have a clinical background,

139
00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 4: we certainly have programs, for example, for new nurses residency

140
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 4: programs where we teach them how to care for patients

141
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 4: in this environment, teach them palliative care. But we would

142
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: do the same for any experienced nurse who would transition

143
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 4: with experience, and we would onboard them in the same way.

144
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 4: So any nurse new or otherwise experienced would be welcome here.

145
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: Regarding family and loved ones, how do you bring them

146
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: into the care process? What is their role in care?

147
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we consider the family as part of the

148
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 4: extended way in which we care for our patients, and

149
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 4: we have very robust resources within the hospital such as

150
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 4: our social work staff, our bereavement staff, and oftentimes and

151
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 4: our nurses will tell us this that they're caring more

152
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 4: for families.

153
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: Than in a way than they are for patients.

154
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 4: Patients will often come to terms with what their life,

155
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 4: this end part of their life, but families sometimes aren't

156
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 4: there with the patients all the time. So we provide

157
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 4: very supportive infrastructure. So, for example, interdisciplinary teams will meet

158
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 4: every day and talk about cases, and that includes social work, bereavement,

159
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 4: spiritual care. Our pastoral care services play a very very

160
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 4: important role for families because often families in these circumstances

161
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 4: will lean on their faith or their beliefs in terms

162
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: of being able to get through this very difficult time

163
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 4: in their life. And we aim through our interdisciplinary interventions

164
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 4: to provide comfort, dignity and peace for the whole person that.

165
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: We're caring for.

166
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 4: But for their family as well, and staff make attachments

167
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 4: that are very very strong with family members as a

168
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 4: result of that, and our services go beyond the time

169
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 4: of the loved one's death. We have a bereavement service

170
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 4: that will last up to two years for families who

171
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 4: choose to engage in the bereavement counseling process and and

172
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: it can be highly supportive in life altering for families

173
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 4: in terms of getting through that process in a way

174
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 4: that is meaningful.

175
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: When you're talking about supports too, I wonder if you

176
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: can discuss what role volunteering plays.

177
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, volunteers are really important to us as well, and

178
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 4: many volunteers that are here.

179
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: We have programs for.

180
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 4: Our patients, activities where patients can we serve Massier every

181
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: day at eleven thirty, So whatever faith you are, you

182
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 4: can join or not. We have activities with music and

183
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 4: art therapy. Many of our volunteers have had family experiences

184
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 4: here at Calvary and come back to support the patients

185
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 4: in those activities and are on standby in a way

186
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 4: that is again very meaningful to them based on their

187
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 4: own experience.

188
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: Given the unique perspective you have at Cavalry, what are

189
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: you learning that will help in the future, and what

190
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 2: do you hope to see over the next decade.

191
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is a great question. So I think what

192
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,239
Speaker 4: we're going to see is what's being called the silver tsunami,

193
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 4: and that is what is it one in five patients

194
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 4: or over sixty five now or people are over sixty five.

195
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 4: So I think, you know, we are very uniquely positioned

196
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 4: to embrace the aging population and that our expertise in

197
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 4: palliative care really gives us a front row seat to

198
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 4: what will improve patient lives and the quality.

199
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: Of their life at end of life.

200
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 4: So we as nurses, for example, received recently a grant

201
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 4: from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation to advance a Pathway

202
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 4: to Excellence designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, which

203
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 4: means we have a designation that we are some of

204
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 4: the most high quality nurses. Five percent or something of

205
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 4: hospitals and healthcare systems in the country have this designation,

206
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 4: and so we're equipping our nurses is not only to

207
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 4: advance palliative care, but the quality of care that we give,

208
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 4: how to measure that, and how to be an exemplar

209
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 4: in the environment where we're giving care to others. So

210
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 4: we expect to see more patients coming to us, and

211
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: we expect to see that care to be of more

212
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 4: high quality than what even it is now.

213
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: Finally, on a personal note, this is very challenging work.

214
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 2: What do you take away from it? What is the

215
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: most rewarding thing about it? When the focus is not

216
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 2: on curing but on caring for people?

217
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 4: For me personally, and I know for our staff here,

218
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 4: it really is the humanity part of what the human

219
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: part of what we do, and giving patients and their

220
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 4: family members that level of comfort, dignity and meaning at

221
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 4: the end of their life is very memorable, not just

222
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 4: for patients and families, but it is for our staff.

223
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 4: So in a strange analogy, if you're giving birth to

224
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 4: a baby, think about that as one of life's really

225
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 4: defining moments and what it means to have a supportive staff.

226
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 4: And every woman I've ever known that's given birth remembers

227
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 4: the moment that their child was born and who was

228
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 4: there and the care that they received. It's really no different.

229
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 4: And so while it's challenging and now navigating the emotional

230
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: weight of death is difficult, but it's also very memorable

231
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 4: and extremely rewarding.
