Palliative care offers comfort, care and aims to improve quality of life for those suffering from a serious ailment, while hospice care provides that support specifically in the final weeks or months of life. Emotional challenges surrounding illness and death can affect uptake on hospice and palliative care, but both types of care provide crucial support for patients of all ages and their families. Learn from health experts about the unique needs and challenges of different age groups and how to deliver patient-centered, empathetic hospice and palliative care during life’s most challenging moments. Whether you're a caregiver, health care provider, or family member, this webinar will offer valuable guidance on approaches that ensure comfort, dignity and quality of life for everyone in need of care.

ASU’s College of Health Solutions offers its Health Talks speaker series to inspire collaboration and conversation on important topics in health. Each webinar is offered at no charge and approved for one continuing education credit.
