Improving care and advocating for LGBTQ communities

The Treuman Katz Center for Pediatric Bioethics and Palliative Care and the Cambia Palliative Care Center of Excellence are hosting Dr. Carey Candrian’s upcoming visit to Seattle as part of the UW Public Lectures program.

Dr. Candrian is an internationally recognized researcher whose work examines how communication shapes healthcare outcomes, particularly for older lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) adults and the people who care for them. Her scholarship highlights the consequences when patients cannot openly share with clinicians who and what matter most.
