"B Inspired" Finds Empathy the Gift Pediatrician Alvin Moyer Provides Children Facing End of Life

by Jane Stahl

Fascinated with the complexity of the working of the brain, primary care physician Alvin Moyer felt something was missing until a residency in palliative care, tending to his sister in her final days, and serving as the physician to a young boy whose cancer was incurable provided a clue.

Coming from a large family, he had a lifetime of experience and lived understanding that life ends for all that allowed him to guide folks in managing their care and their departure. He found the Elizabeth Seton Children's Center in Yonkers, NY, to be the perfect setting where his extraordinary empathy enhances the lives of medically complex and technology-dependent children and their families, helping to create joyful opportunities to build their legacy while facing the end of life.
