GeriPal Podcast: Rural Palliative Care
In a recent episode of the GeriPal podcast, hosts Drs. Eric Widera and Alex Smith are joined by Karl Bezak, Jeanie Youngwerth, Adie Goldberg, and Gregg Vandekieft to explore the challenges and opportunities of delivering palliative care in rural communities.
They share what drew them to this work, how rural palliative care differs from care in urban settings, the key barriers to delivering it effectively, and innovative approaches to ensure patients and families receive the support they need.
