Video: ✨ What is Palliative Care? Ask the Nurse Navigator 🩺

Palliative care is one of the most misunderstood parts of the cancer journey—but it can make a big difference in quality of life for both patients and care partners. 🤍

In this “Ask the Nurse Navigator” session, Angie Swaim, RN, breaks down what palliative care really is, how it works, and how it supports the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.

Topics include:

✔️ What’s included in palliative care

✔️ How it supports care partners, not just patients

✔️ The difference between palliative care and hospice care

✔️ How palliative care teams address emotional and mental health

✔️ The role of chaplains and spiritual support

✔️ What to expect and how to access palliative care services
