Apoyo Con Carino: Patient Navigation for Palliative Care for Non-Cancer Illness

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Palliative Care

In brief

Palliative care is a priority area of focus for the National Institute of Nursing Research. Despite the evidence-based benefits of palliative care, access remains limited, especially in poor urban and rural settings. Cultural and linguistic barriers may also increase disparities in palliative care for Latinos. Due to a nationwide shortage of palliative care providers and the unique cultural preferences and values of patients, our innovative study has the potential to improve palliative care outcomes and reduce health disparities in both urban and rural underserved communities.
