-Alex Smith Links Link to the McGill National Grand Rounds Series on Palliative Care , Michael Kearney as initial presenter, and registration for future events. First we have Michael Kearney, who’s a palliative and hospice doctor at the Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara and author of several books. Canadians are welcoming.
