Palliative Care Network's Position Statement

During the 2010 Palliative Care breakout session in San Francisco, members of the Palliative Network suggested that a position statement on palliative care be developed for the SGO. The statement solidifies SGO’s position as leading in women’s cancer care, embraces the new multidisciplinary culture of the SGO, highlights the need for palliative training for young physicians and addresses compassion fatigue for practitioners.
