Palliative care is patient- and family-centered care that anticipates, prevents, and treats suffering during end of life.

The benefit gives individuals, during the period before hospice care is necessary, an alternative to spending time in hospitals and emergency rooms.

​These webinars will cover strategies to reduce delays for appointments, pertinent aims and measures, and resources to support continued improvement. The goal is to achieve results by increasing opportunity for patients to seek and receive care from the provider of their choice at the time of their choosing. We recommend attending the complete webinar series.
