Palliative Care Nursing is the Future of Compassionate Healthcare on Fairfield University's Thinkspace talks with John A. Hartford Foundation Senior Program Officer, Amy Berman.

The article discusses the importance of giving healthcare professionals the education around palliative care that they need. "From a professional perspective, Amy’s struggle to receive palliative care moves us profoundly in our roles as clinicians and educators and forces us to continue to examine whether we are doing all we can to ensure that every nurse is prepared to provide palliative care to their patients and families."
