About
After a 30-year journey in internal medicine, Robert (Bob) Lewe landed where he should have been all along, in hospice and palliative medicine. Inspired by his experiences of dying patients, Bob realized he could really transform the path people living with advancing illnesses, to understand their hopes, their dreams, their fears, and help them live life to the fullest.
While he is not particularly athletic, Bob has always enjoyed fitness. Although major hip surgeries ended his running for sport, Bob works with a personal trainer to stay fit and finds plenty of other exercises and activities that work well.
