In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Katie Jones, FNP, MA, nurse practitioner for oncology and palliative care at Shaw Cancer Center, about her program’s receipt of a 2025 ACCC Innovator Award. Recognizing the urgent need for the expansion of palliative care services beyond the clinic setting, Shaw Cancer Center’s innovation, Shaw at Home: An Oncology Specific Home and Community-Based Palliative Care Program, bridges this critical gap in care by addressing the unmet needs of the patients in its community. Katie will discuss how the program has created a continuous transition of care between hospital and home, as well as continuity of care through end-of-life.

“It’s so different from seeing a patient in the clinic...to go to their home and see their family pictures on the wall, and see the things that are meaningful and valuable to them, and being in their own space. We learn so much about our patients during these visits.”
