dc.description.abstractI am a palliative care leader who works at a comprehensive cancer center. It has always been my mission to educate my patients and colleagues about the importance of having goals of care discussions with patients with advancing illness, and the time for these discussions is ever more relevant now.

This piece focuses on the imperative for us to have more goals of care conversations with all patients, now.en_US
