Palliative Care

Cambia has partnered with ARCHANGELS in starting a national conversation about how we can better identify, thank and support caregivers.

We’re thrilled to launch the HealthChangers podcast with an interview with Dr. Steven Pantilat, a renowned palliative care expert and author of the new book Life after the Diagnosis.

With National Healthcare Decisions Day during April 16-22, 2018, it’s important for families to feel empowered around advance care planning. You don’t have to be seriously ill to begin the conversation with the people who care about you; talking about your goals and wishes takes the guesswork and guilt away from anyone acting on your behalf.

Following a community screening of the Netflix documentary: End Game, a film that follows the stories of people and families living with serious illness, Cambia Health Foundation President and Board Chair, Peggy Maguire, led an panel discussion with top leaders in the field of palliative care including Dr. Steven Z. Pantilat, Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider, and Mark Ganz, President and Chief Executive Officer, Cambia Health Solutions.

To mark Cambia's Centennial, we invited StoryCorps to come in and host one-on-one conversations with employees, stakeholders, community members and other friends of Cambia. Their stories bring to life the many meaningful ways change can happen in health care.

In this episode of HealthChangers, we travel to Austin, Texas’ most famous Conference, South by Southwest (SXSW) to speak with Cambia Health Foundation President, Peggy Maguire, and two palliative care leaders about the opportunities for working together towards an inclusive approach that makes palliative care more understandable and accessible for people and families across the age spectrum.

We interview two palliative care physicians researching how cultural beliefs impact care through the Sojourns Scholar program.
