Silvia Perez Protto, MD, is the director of Cleveland Clinic’s new Center for End of Life Care. The role fulfills her passion to provide patients comfort in their final days — something she learned from her father, whose end-of-life wishes were unknown to his family. Today, Dr. Perez Protto praises the collaboration and support from her fellow caregivers at Cleveland Clinic as she leads this important work. It’s the Power of Every One to make positive change.
