Susan B. Hassmiller

<b>Susan Beth Hassmiller</b> works for Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the largest philanthropy in the United States, devoted to improving the health and healthcare for all Americans. A nurse by profession, she writes and presents frequently to national and international audiences on the importance of nursing as a means of improving the health care system. After growing from the pain of losing her own husband, Susan began to teach those around her what it is like to experience profound grief. Among perhaps hundreds of lessons, she uses her blog to illustrate how to speak to a grieving person; how to manage finances; and how healthcare providers might do a much better job for providing compassion at the front line. Susan currently resides in Princeton, NJ.
