Regardless of changes in the legal rights of LGBTQ people, end of life can feel like a step backward, with biased health care workers and lack of resources. How can we educate health facilities and workers to deliver appropriate services regardless of their personal beliefs or assumptions? And how do people in these communities come to trust that when they access services, they will be treated well and in a way that honors them as individuals? Kimberly Acquaviva has been on a mission to educate a multi-disciplinary community of health professionals working with illness and end of life so that care will be safe for their LGBTQ patients. Join us to learn what inclusion looks like and how facilities can insure that their care is welcoming and appropriate!
