On #WorldHospiceAndPalliativeCareDay, we celebrate the interprofessional teams who ensure that residents receive person-centered care that honours their wishes and cultural preferences. By integrating cultural humility into our approach, we ensure that care is respectful, inclusive, and honours the diverse needs of those living in LTC.
