2slgbtqia+ resources for end-of-life planning and hospice palliative care

Kimberly D. Acquaviva authored this book in 2017. It is rare to find a book dedicated to LGBTQ care, especially hospice and palliative care. This book was recommended to Adam, who now wants to recommend it to anyone who works in end-of-life care.

Check out Columbia University Press for more information.

If several within your hospice society are interested, a reading group would be an excellent way to read, reflect and discuss the content and reflection questions provided by Kimberly Acquaviva.
