Language Matters: Partnering with Health Care Interpreters in Palliative Care

October 9 at 1pm CST/12pm MST

For patients with serious illnesses, clear communication is the cornerstone of achieving good outcomes. How can we accomplish clear communication when there is a language barrier between the patient and their health care team? The relationships and conversations that are central to high-quality palliative care become more challenging in these situations. In this webinar, Dr. Anne Kinderman will explore the important role that health care interpreters play in the care of patients with serious illness who do not share a common language with their care team.
