    Stronger Together: Pulmonary Fibrosis and the Power of Palliative Care

    The intersection of pulmonary and palliative medicine is particularly relevant in the care of patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The complex medical, psychological, and physical needs of this population necessitate a collaborative approach, integrating the expertise of both specialties. Approaching care with curiosity rather than judgment fosters interdisciplinary partnership, leading to more comprehensive, patient-centered strategies that enhance outcomes for ILD patients and their caregivers across all dimensions of care. #PulmonaryPalliativeCare#AdvancedLungDisease#InterstitialLungDisease#Partnerships #Collaboration#PalliativeMedicine #ATS #AAHPM #WESCOEfoundation #AdvancedIllnessPlanning #GoalsOfCare #TeamBasedCare #WholePersonCare #BeCuriousNotJudgmental *Produced by the BSHSR Assembly
