Dr. Justin Baker, chief of St. Jude’s Division of Quality of Life and Palliative Care, takes a selfie with Dr. James Downing, president and CEO of St. Jude, during last year's inaugural St. Jude Pediatric Palliative Oncology Symposium. “So often there’s this tension that is felt around palliative care and hospice,” said Baker. “They think about it in the context of only bad news. We’ve tried to reshape that here.” (Photo courtesy of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital)
