As the population ages, the number of people living with serious illness is increasing and the demand for quality, timely, person-centered palliative care is growing. We need specialized, trained health professionals working in collaborative teams to answer this call. It is upon health care leaders and policymakers to jointly design, build, and sustain a workforce to ensure all North Carolinians have access to care during a serious illness or end of life.
