“Living Well, Dying Well: A Palliative Approach” explores the principles and practice of palliative care, emphasizing the importance of quality of life at every stage of a serious illness. This presentation highlights how early integration of palliative care supports physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being for patients and their families. It challenges common misconceptions about palliative care being only for end-of-life, instead positioning it as a holistic, person-centered approach that helps individuals live as fully and comfortably as possible—right up to the end of life. Through compassionate communication, symptom management, and collaborative care, we aim to honor dignity, values, and individual choices in both living and dying well.
