The panel will include multiple Hospice of the Chesapeake experts including Chief Medical Officer Dr. Marny Fetzer and will be moderated by Director of Nursing and Clinical Advocacy Rachel Sherman, DNP, FNP-BC. Also joining the panel will be Dr. Alvin Reaves III with U.S. Acute Care Solutions; Jacqueline Hill, PhD, RN, CNE of Bowie State University; Prince George’s County District 9 Council Member Sydney Harrison; Maryland State Senator Michael Jackson; and Chaplain Robin Walker, MDiv., BCC, of the University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center.
Sherman is looking forward to facilitating this discussion about a topic that she is passionate about in the county she calls home. “I have advocated for health equity in Prince George’s County for my entire professional life,” she said. “Being in a leadership position with a respected organization known for its hometown roots offers more opportunities to help educate the community about the importance and availability of advanced illness and end-of-life care for themselves and their families.”
