End of Life Conversations with a Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner

In this conversation, Heather Boykin joins Dr. Polly Watson to discuss the essential aspects of palliative care, emphasizing its role in improving the quality of life for individuals facing serious illnesses both for themselves and family members. She highlights the importance of advanced care planning, navigating conversations about personal preferences, and redefining hope in the context of serious illness. Heather gives practical resources for normalizing these conversations with loved ones and planning for future healthcare decisions.

Quotes

  • “A lot of people think about advanced care planning as being purely document preparation, but you know, that's only one part of it. It is really reflecting on as we ourselves get along in this journey of life, what's important to us about our medical care.”
  • “Palliative care is a partner with you on the journey. If you have received some news that you know is going to impact your life, it is always a good time, the earlier the better.”
  • “Embracing other ways to care for us when we're sick, redefining hope means that things like hospice or end-of-life care can become an important tool.”
