Palliative care is an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on improving the quality of life for individuals living with serious illness. Yet many patients and families are unaware of what palliative care truly offers—or when it can be introduced. This program will explore the core principles of palliative care, including symptom management, whole-person support, and alignment of care with a patient’s goals and values. Participants will gain clarity on who can benefit from palliative care services and when referral is most appropriate.

Join Alixis Van Horn, Clinical Educator at Good Shepherd Community Care, for this program, which reinforces that palliative care is not about giving up—it is about ensuring that every person receives thoughtful, compassionate, and value-aligned care throughout the course of illness.
