Family Caregivers

Healthcare professionals often share information about hospice and palliative care, but the voices of family caregivers are not always included. Medicine relies heavily on family members and other loved ones to provide much of the care through the end of life. This panel of family caregivers will discuss the benefits of hospice care for patients and caregivers, the challenges they faced, lessons learned, and what they wish they had known beforehand. This session is intended for current and future family caregivers, healthcare professionals, and anyone who supports people facing serious illness or end-of-life care.
