Where to now, Palliative Care?
In November 2023, the California Health Care Foundation released the report, “California’s Palliative Care Evolution: Celebrating Progress and Shaping the Future.” As a key partner with CHCF in its work, CCCC is committed to cement gains and build on the progress made to ensure and expand access to high-quality palliative care for all Californians. The CHCF report identified specific opportunities for continued efforts and advocacy. This webinar will be a free-flowing conversation among leaders from some of the state’s most influential palliative care providers, payers, and innovators. We’ll consider the recommendations laid out in the report, discuss which areas are most urgent and most potentially fruitful, while recognizing barriers and challenges and perhaps some other issues the report might have missed. Questions and comments from the audience will be welcome.

Recognizing and Responding to Mental Health Issues in Palliative Care Practice
Roughly one in five Americans is living with mental illness. For patients with serious medical disease, comorbid symptoms of mental illness can often amplify distress, complicate disease management, and intensify the challenges of caregiving. As a result, palliative care teams sometimes struggle to fully address the unique needs of this patient population. Please join us for a conversation with Nathan Fairman, focused on mental health issues in palliative care practice. The webinar will help the clinical practitioner identify and address mental health conditions that commonly occur in the context of serious medical disease.

Lessons Learned from Native American and Rural Communities
Native American and rural communities are overburdened with chronic conditions that disproportionately lead to terminal illnesses, yet these groups also have the lowest percentage of individuals utilizing supportive care services such as hospice and palliative care. YoloCares wanted to find out why, and how hospice and palliative care can be more effective in meeting the needs of these underserved communities. Among their surprising findings was that the best ambassadors for hospice were the spiritual care team, an outcome that may have applicability for how we introduce hospice and palliative care in other communities and cultures. Join Brandy Jones, DEI Manager and Community Educator for YoloCares, to learn more about the insights for practice gained from the Life Transitions Project.
