NASEM Webinar: Addressing Public Misperceptions About Palliative Care
2024-05-20 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Chicago) | Webinar
NASEM Webinar: Addressing Public Misperceptions About Palliative Care

May 20, 2024

11 am – noon CT

The first webinar in the series will discuss public perceptions of palliative care. Evidence shows that earlier access to palliative care improves patient and family outcomes, yet misperceptions serve as barriers to access to palliative care earlier in the course of serious illness. Research reveals that once palliative care is introduced in a way that matches people’s aspirations and needs, they are more likely to choose palliative care.
