Dr. John Mulder, chief consultant for hospice and palliative care medicine for Michigan’s Faith Hospice, was drawn to the field after witnessing his father’s difficult end-of-life experience.
Having begun his practice 40 years ago in family medicine, he came to hospice in 1983 when he was asked to serve on the board of a local provider. He went on to become the organization’s medical director.
“As soon as I became acquainted with what they were doing and what they were all about, it all made sense,” Mulder told Hospice News. “This is what dad needed, but that wasn’t available [when he passed away] in 1980.”
