Edward E. Rosenbaum Award Recipient: Dr. Harry Krulewitch

Dr. Krulewitch was born in Chicago and attended the University of Illinois at Champaign and then the University of Illinois medical school in Chicago. He interned at Cook County hospital and then came to Eugene Oregon where he worked for seven years as the medical director of a community health center where he first began to make house calls for dying patients. He completed his family practice residency at Fort Collins U of Colorado Family practice and then worked in Minneapolis as a family physician until he was awarded a fellowship in Family medicine at the U of Minnesota where he would earn his geriatric certificate and then go on to become the medical director of Bethesda St.Paul chronic care hospital and also serve as their hospice medical director.

In 1993 he returned to Portland Oregon to help establish the first replication site for the PACE program nationally and for nine years worked with the Providence PACE program making house calls with his team of home care professionals and providing end of life care to Medicaid eligible home care elders in the east metro area. In 2003 he began his own practice on the west side of Portland and then shifted in 2007 to provide long-term and community-based care to older adults in the Portland area working as the medical director for a number of SNF, ICF, RCF and ALF settings including a number of memory care units. He also became an assistant professor in family practice at OHSU in 2006.

During the past fifteen years, he has worked for a number of different hospice companies as a medical director. He currently is working with Comfort Hospice primarily providing staff and development and family education.He teaches the family practice residents courses in end of life care, palliative care, team leadership and chronic disease management. He has served as the president of the Oregon Geriatric Society and is currently working on a state initiative for de-prescribing. He works with the Oregon Partnership to treat dementia patients and recently has been a speaker at the McGinty conference and the OHCA annual meeting with presentations on palliative care and person-centered care at the end of life.

To support his work with patients at the end of life and their family caregivers he has taken courses in medical chaplaincy with the Upaya Zen Center in Santa Fe. His best role models remain his 93 yr. old father and stepmother who continue to live independently and enjoy active lives. Dr. Krulewitch loves to read fiction, listen to jazz and classical music and is a hardcore Chicago Black Hawks hockey fan.

He has two sons who work and live in the northwest and his wife and partner Kathleen Dougherty who has encouraged and supported him throughout his career. They enjoy hiking and traveling and their last trip was a month in Ireland visiting pubs and listening to Irish traditional music.
