	Stephanie Hudon, LICSW Core Faculty I have a master’s degree in social work from Boston College and completed a post-graduate certificate in Palliative and End-of-Life Care at Smith College. I chose Palliative Care because it allows me to get to know every aspect of a person which helps align their care with what’s important to them. I love being able to support patients through the highs and the lows that come with serious illness and be present with them throughout the process wherever it brings them. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband, hiking, fishing, and doing puzzles.
