    Enhancing Communication Skills Through Palliative Care Training

    Today, we’re getting into the power of communication in palliative care and why it matters for healthcare providers of all backgrounds. Palliative care focuses on supporting patients with serious illnesses or chronic conditions, and enhancing provider communication is key to delivering compassionate, effective care. Our guest is Lisa Werner from Lawndale Christian Health Center, and she participated in the pilot Palliative Care Training (PCT) program last year. Lisa played a unique role as an advisor, helping tailor sessions specifically for health center staff. She shares her experience, what motivated her to join the course, how it benefited her work even outside of direct palliative care, and why this training is so valuable for healthcare providers at any level. Tune in as Lisa shares practical insights and personal takeaways that could inspire you or your team to take advantage of this incredible opportunity. If you’re curious about improving patient care, building confidence in communication, or earning up to 14 free CME/CE credits, this episode is for you.
