As we discuss palliative care for this episode, Wellness Series With Lucia recognizes the role of our Nurses. Happy International Nurses Day.

World Health Organization (WHO) defines palliative care as, “an approach that improves the quality of life of patients (adults and children) and their families who are facing problems associated with life-threatening illness. It prevents and relieves suffering through the early identification, correct assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, whether physical, psychosocial or spiritual.”

Join Wellness Series with Lucia as we explore and create a better understanding of Palliative care with Dr. Norman Carl Swart.
