Aa builder, an innovator and a dreamer who approaches life and the practice of medicine with love and respect. Incorporating principles of value based payment, technology enabled service delivery, and interprofessional team integration, Dr. Fratkin and his team has created ResolutionCare Network to build capacity for high quality home-based palliative care in rural Northern California and beyond, which later integrated with Vynca to become VyncaCare, helping to reach 1000s more families across multiple states.

These principles have been the foundation for bringing care to hundreds of people over thousands of square miles while delivering the best possible value to people and families, as well as much needed relief to rural health systems and healthplans.

Through professional training, technical assistance, and consulting support, Dr. Fratkin individually and through his work with FireWater Consulting are a catalyst for advance care planning, telehealth, and other palliative care program development across the globe as communities seek to address challenges of workforce deficiency, large geographic distances, professional resiliency, and the slow acceptance of concurrent palliative care complimenting disease directed care.

By giving voice to people navigating serious illness and the professionals called to serve them from within complex legacy health delivery systems, Dr. Fratkin is gathering collaborators with the courage to build the future of person-centered healthcare around the world.
