Virtual Town Hall Recording: COVID-19 Impact on Palliative Care and Hospice, Now and into the Future
The National Coalition for Hospice and Palliative Care held a Virtual Town Hall on July 27, "Conversations with Coalition Leaders: COVID-19 Impact on Palliative Care and Hospice, Now and into the Future."
The Coalition COVID-19 Town Hall was the third in a four part series. During the Town Hall, national palliative care and hospice leaders discussed COVID-19 field response, talked about how the COVID-19 epidemic has changed the delivery of palliative care and hospice – temporarily or perhaps permanently, addressed top concerns and gave advice to the field for what's ahead, and answered key questions from professionals in the field.
