David Leavitt, LCSW, ACHP-SW, is a social worker for Community Nursing Services. He has been practicing in hospice and home health since 2008. At times, palliative and hospice work has felt more to him like a ministry or calling than a job. The implications of disengagement and continuity theories for end-of-life cases, and the effects of trauma on the dying process, are professional interests of his. In his personal life, he enjoys eating or thinking about what he will be eating at the next opportunity.
