TOPIC: The Ethics and History of Advance Care Planning

SPEAKER: Danielle DiGennaro, Adult Nurse Practitioner at University of Wisconsin Madison Palliative Care Department

Danielle DiGennaro is an adult nurse practitioner, has a robust background in hospice and palliative nursing, progressive leadership and extensive clinical experience. Danielle was initially exposed to end-of-life care while working in advanced heart failure and cardiac transplant at Duke University Medical Center. During a cross country move, Danielle landed at Sutter Health in northern CA, where she helped launch a new outpatient palliative care site, which was part of a mature department. Another move brought Danielle to Haven Medical Group in Gainesville, FL where she initially led one of the hospice home territories and 16-bed care center and ultimately started both community and inpatient palliative care services for the large rural non-profit hospice. What is hoped to be a final move, brought Danielle to the Midwest, where she led a large, mature, community hospice-led palliative care program. Danielle most recently transitioned to the University of Wisconsin Madison Palliative Care Dept, working on expansion of the dept to a large community hospital. Danielle is also active in HPNA and NHPCO where she serves on the Palliative Care Council.
