Tradeoffs Podcast Episode: The Hurdles Facing Black Families Navigating Serious Illness
Tradeoffs podcast has released a new episode, "The Hurdles Facing Black Families Navigating Serious Illness."
Serious illnesses like cancer and kidney failure are painful for patients and hard on their caregivers. Services like hospice and palliative care exist to support families and ensure their loved ones live easier lives and die more comfortable deaths. But data show Black individuals are less likely to have their pain treated and less likely to use hospice and palliative care.
In this Tradeoffs podcast episode — the latest in a series made possible by the Better Care Playbook — a researcher details ways to make this care more equitable and a caregiver shares her family’s journey navigating a serious illness.
