On June 17, IALH and McMaster University’s Faculty of Health Sciences present Hope for the Best, Plan for the Rest: 7 Keys for Navigating a Life-Changing Diagnosis.

📢New grad research from our team!📢 A critical examination of 'family' caregiving at the end of life in contexts of homelessness: Key concepts and future considerations @mollison.bsky.social @kstajduhar.bsky.social Dr. Marilou Gagnon @ryanmcneil.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Members of our team are down at the Royal Jubilee Hospital @vanislandhealth.bsky.social for #NationalHospicePalliativeCare week📅 Come say hi to Lexy Stewart who just SUCCESSFULLY defended her MA in Social Dimensions of Health & Social @uvic.ca and our new MSW Practicum Student, Mercedes Calma 🎉

The Equity in Palliative Approaches to Care team, led by IALH Research Fellow, Kelli Stajduhar, created an equity-oriented advance care planning tool designed to support individuals who face structural vulnerabilities. Learn more at: www.equityinpalliativecare.com/tools-resour...

Advance care planning doesn’t look the same for everyone. Social and structural inequities—like poverty, racism, housing insecurity, or limited access to health care—can profoundly shape how people approach care planning.
