About the presenter:John A. Mulder, MD, currently serves as the vice president of medical services of Faith Hospice and medical director for palliative care services for Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids. He has appointments as assistant clinical professor in the Departments of Medicine and Pediatrics at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and the Department of Family Medicine at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine.
