It's Time for Justice: Racial and Ethnic Equity in Hospice and Palliative Care

What would racial equity and justice look like in hospice and palliative care? The coronavirus pandemic has exposed the structural racism within US culture and the resulting healthcare inequities. The field of hospice and palliative care is not immune to these issues – what do we need to know and do to advance equity and justice in the care we provide and in the systems within which we provide care?

The panelists explore the broad concepts and key concerns of racism, share insights from the research and programs they have developed to advance justice, and provide solution-based opportunities that we can carry into our work.
