Listen to the latest episode of the Palliative Perspective Podcast: "Reimagining Palliative Care – Conversations That Matter in Non-Traditional Settings."

Join host Brett Snodgrass, DNP, FNP-C, ACHPN®, FAANP, as she sits down with Shena Gazaway, PhD, RN, CHPN®, to discuss her nurse-led research on delivering primary palliative care directly in patients’ homes—a setting where this care is critically needed yet often underutilized.

Together, they explore how Shena leads meaningful conversations about serious illness, navigates complex chronic conditions, and builds trusting relationships with patients and families to ensure care aligns with what matters most to them.
