Hospice and palliative care professionals are experts at caring for
individuals and families experiencing serious or life-limiting
illnesses. Not everyone feels safe seeking out their expertise,
however: LGBTQIA+ people may be deterred from seeking support
because of barriers—both overt and subtle—that hospice and
palliative care programs and professionals erect through their
policies and practices. This book is an accessible, expert guide to
incorporating LGBTQIA-inclusive practices into end-of-life care. It
equips both new and experienced hospice and palliative care
professionals with the knowledge they need to ensure that all
people receive high-quality care. Kimberly D. Acquaviva surveys
fundamental concepts and the latest clinical developments,
integrating relatable anecdotes and poignant personal reflections.
She discusses her own experience caring for her wife, Kathy, who
was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2019. Unable to find a local
hospice with an LGBTQIA-inclusive nondiscrimination statement, let
alone one whose staff had been trained to provide nondiscriminatory
care to LGBTQIA+ people, Kathy died at home six months later
without hospice care. Acquaviva offers clear, actionable strategies
for palliative care and hospice physicians, physician associates,
advanced-practice registered nurses, registered nurses, social
workers, counselors, chaplains, and others. She also emphasizes how
incorporating LGBTQIA-inclusive practices can transform work with
every person receiving care. Anchored in the evidence and written
in plain language, this book is the definitive guide for hospice
and palliative care professionals seeking to deliver exceptional
care to all the patients and families they serve.
