Dr. Steve Pantilat on the future of palliative care


Listen Later

Listen to our full interview with UCSF’s Dr. Steve Pantilat, founder of one of the nation’s first hospital-based palliative care programs. When one thinks about palliative care, it’s often within the context of “at the end-of-life”, but Pantilat says it should also be viewed as “through the end of life”. Pantilat discusses how societal perceptions about symptom management for those with serious or life-threatening disease has gained support and why there is still more work to be done.
