  Embracing holistic care: Supportive care and symptom management

  February 22, 2018

  Managing appointments and medications for PH can be strenuous and complicated for both the patient and their care team. Coordination of care, time restraints and not knowing how to best communicate concerns can make it difficult for patients to express their concerns and ask for support with emotional distress and/or symptom management. In this webinar, Jacob Strand, M.D., Mayo Clinic, defines and discusses supportive care, the myths and misconceptions of palliative care and delve into how this care can benefit PH patients, their caregivers and the PH care team.
