November is Native American Heritage Month. In #PalliativeCare, this month is an opportunity to reflect on and address disparities in health outcomes for Indigenous and Native Americans living with a serious illness. Indigenous People of North America (IPNA) living with serious illness and their families have unmet needs within our health care system. It can be challenging to provide culturally centered care when clinicians have gaps in knowledge. Within IPNA communities, numerous disparities impact social determinants of health. Often, there are complexities in navigating the Indian Health Service and Tribal 638 programs, including understanding how they intersect with mainstream health care in rural and urban areas. However, there are cultural communication strategies for approaching topics of a serious nature to facilitate these conversations and overcome these complexities. In this Interprofessional Grand Rounds, the presenters empower attendees with the knowledge and resources they need to provide a culturally centered approach when caring for this population. ow.ly/1X6g510360B
