Palliative care isn’t just about the end of life, it’s also about improving the quality of life for patients and caregivers—but challenges exist for minority groups in accessing palliative services. On this mini-podcast, learn about the cultural and logistical barriers to end-of-life health equity and discover strategies that programs can implement to both address palliative care earlier in the care continuum and reduce health disparities.

Guest: Cardinale Smith, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Medicine; Chief Quality Officer, Cancer Services, Mount Sinai Health System, Division of Hematology/Medical Oncology and Brookdale Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine
