Sometimes our life’s experiences are so profound they impact everything that follows. Such was the case with Holly DeVivo.
She is a Clinical Advisor with Hospice of Michigan, a career inspired by the loss of her son and the end-of-life care provided to Alex and those who loved him. Holly’s focus as Clinical Advisor is helping be the bridge with physicians – both in the hospital and in private practice – to facilitate those difficult discussions with families who face life-limiting illness.
Many patients and their families struggle with the diagnosis and prognosis. Holly helps them identify their goals and helps explain the resources available to them. Holly is also a certified medical translator.
She connects patients and families within Grand Rapids’ Spanish speaking community. Recently, she offered a course for healthcare providers that provided introductory vocabulary and cultural information to facilitate basic communication between healthcare providers and their Spanish-speaking patients.
