REVIEWS
Client Feedback
Carey’s contributions to our team were invaluable, significantly improving our workflow and patient outcomes.
Mr. Ramirez has demonstrated himself to be an effective informal and a formal leader. As an informal leader, he has always been a passionate educator, finding opportunities to teach a broader audience about palliative care locally, regionally, and nationally. He also searches for strategies to improve care for palliative care patients and their families. He has served on committees, quality improvement initiatives, and other venues as a change agent. His outcomes include development of palliative care programs, improving clinical outcomes such as decreasing hospital length of stay, and improving pain and symptoms among patients who are suffering. - Jeannine M. Brant, PhD, APRN, AOCN, FAAN
I subscribe to the sentiment that setting a good example is a key feature of great leadership.
Given Carey’s competence, balanced by humility and amiability, we regularly hear praise from
patients and referring providers alike. One example of him leading the way is his work in our
ICU. It is well known that mortality in the ICU for patients with cancer is high, and that early
conversations between the medical team and a patient’s family can help prevent unwanted
non-beneficial care. Shortly after his arrival to City of Hope, Carey took it upon himself above
and beyond his usual assigned responsibilities to initiate a program of regular palliative
rounding in the ICU in order to build relationships with the medical teams and identify patients
at high risk. Others on our team have since followed his lead and it is now becoming a more
formalized process, leading to improved communication and goal-concordant care in the ICU. - Dr. Stefanie Mooney, Chief of Supportive Medicine
