Dr. Kathleen Murphy understands
how to communicate the language of hope.
She traded her career as an internist for one
in palliative care, which incorporates the
spiritual, psychological and emotional elements
of pain into medical treatment plans.

A palliative care specialist with Beaumont
Hospital and Henry Ford Health Systems,
Dr. Murphy works daily with terminally ill
patients and collaborates with JHCN for
spiritual guidance for her Jewish patients.

yet

"Dr. Murphy's gift is listening. She knows
how to say the right thing to embrace each
patient, rather than add to their devastation,"
said Rabbi E.B. Freedman. "Her level of
commitment to Jewish patients is a blessing."
