Guest: Dana Entwistle MS, CCC-SLP - Today we are really lucky to have an amazing person and fantastic clinician join us on the show! Dana Entwistle is a pediatric feeding clinical specialist at Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte, North Carolina, and we get to hear from her all about what that entails. She goes into her personal journey in the profession and the college years that proceeded it. From there, our guest shares the important elements of her current role at Levine, touching on building trust, patient assignment, the hospital space, patient variation and so much more. Dana underlines the importance of the right kind of communication, especially around the tricky and confusing technical side of feeding problems. She has spearheaded the inclusion of more data into the processes she is involved in, something she believes is vital in the constant improvement of healthcare. Listeners can expect to gain some real insight into Dana's philosophy as well as some inspiration for how to be influential and understanding in the feeding space too! This conversation with Dana promises to lead into many more, so make sure to stay tuned for those too!
