A Holistic Approach to Palliative Care
Palliative care is a holistic approach to active and supportive care for cancer patients and their families. As a health care provider, a culturally competent approach to palliative care means supporting the spiritual and cultural beliefs of your patients. When interacting with First Nations, Inuit and Metis communities, the ability to understand, appreciate, and respond to their needs can have a substantial impact on the patient experience.
