Language, culture, and trust: Addressing gaps in palliative care for Hispanic patients
CAPC blog; by Rayna Ross, Brittany Chambers; 7/23/25
CAPC recently released The Health Care Experience of Hispanic Patients with Serious Illness: A Literature Review. While the review outlines the challenges Hispanic patients face, we’ve also been working behind the scenes to identify ways to improve access to palliative care for this population. This new blog features insights from four community leaders who care for and represent Hispanic patients. They offer actionable recommendations for health care organizations, palliative care teams, and clinicians striving to drive meaningful change and ensure equitable access to high-quality care.
