Charles S. Mills, MD, FACP, FAAHPM, HMDBC, is a board-certified internist and palliative care specialist with over 35 years of medical experience. He is a Fellow of both the American College of Physicians and the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. Dr. Mills practiced for many years in both clinical and administrative positions at the former Fallon Clinic and Fallon Community Health System. It was here that he built a strong knowledge of the impact of health care systems and economics on the delivery of care. In these various roles, he became a strong advocate for physician education to assist the evolution of the care models necessary for success in the developing health care market.

Dr. Mills' extensive work in geriatrics during his clinical practice led to his growth in palliative and hospice medicine. Taking on a medical directorship at a local hospice, he gained practical knowledge of this field and went on to complete additional study, leading to his successful completion of board certification in 2008.

He is a zealous proponent of interactive learning processes and enjoys leading and mentoring invigorated medical education forums. Dr. Mills has lectured and taught broadly at the community, medical school, residency, and attending levels.
