“Ms. Barnette has worked with our medical students for the past several years and she is phenomenal! She speaks with the students each spring to help them understand how to approach older patients so that each patient is treated with respect and dignity. She is also a passionate advocate for caregivers and shares with our students the challenging and often hidden burden that caregivers carry in our society. Ms. Barnette speaks with warmth, compassion, and dignity. She approaches these difficult discussions from both personal experience and thoughtful reflection – she has been invaluable to our students!”
