HCCI sat down with Dr. Smith recently at the recent American Academy of Home Care Medicine Annual Meeting. He shared why he’s so optimistic for the field of home-based primary care (HBPC). We also enjoyed hearing the story of how he became involved in the field. Dr. Smith is rather unique in that, unlike many practitioners, he came to home-based primary care very early in his career. Finally, listen for his compelling comments on reducing “unnecessary suffering.”
