Palliative Care Workgroup

The Palliative Care Workgroup is a team of healthcare professionals and experts that focuses on improving and promoting palliative care, which is specialized medical care aimed at enhancing quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses. They develop guidelines, recommend best practices, and coordinate efforts to ensure patients receive compassionate, holistic support—managing symptoms, providing emotional and spiritual support, and respecting patient preferences. Their goal is to ensure that patients and families have access to appropriate, respectful care that addresses physical, emotional, and psychosocial needs during challenging health situations.
