Palliative care focuses on enhancing the quality of life for patients facing serious illnesses and their families. Through personal stories, we gain insights into the compassionate and holistic care provided by palliative care teams. Our Stanford Palliative Care Community Partnerships Team interviewed participants to share their stories and experiences working with a palliative care team. The purpose is to help explain and describe palliative care through patient and caregiver stories. #storytelling
