Palliative care is more than just medical intervention—it’s about honoring the full spectrum of a person’s experience as they approach the end of life. This panel will explore a holistic approach to palliative care, shifting the focus from solely treating illness to truly supporting comfort, dignity, and autonomy. We’ll discuss the importance of bridging gaps between medical systems, families, and community care providers, while addressing cultural considerations that shape end-of-life experiences. Through meaningful conversations, we aim to reframe how we view palliative care, ensuring that individuals receive the support they need in ways that align with their values and wishes.
