    • Main Results:

    • Experiences with palliative care teams demonstrate significant patient and family benefits.
    • Palliative care can lead to improved quality of life and symptom management.
    • Initial analyses suggest palliative care is not merely a cost but a valuable component of comprehensive healthcare.

    Conclusions:

    • The perception of palliative care as a luxury is unfounded and detrimental.
    • Further research and policy changes are needed to ensure equitable access to palliative care services.
