COURSE DESCRIPTION

Native American and rural communities are overburdened with chronic conditions that disproportionately lead to terminal illnesses, yet these groups also have the lowest percentage of individuals utilizing supportive care services such as hospice and palliative care. YoloCares wanted to find out why, and how hospice and palliative care can be more effective in meeting the needs of these underserved communities. Among their surprising findings was that the best ambassadors for hospice were the spiritual care team, an outcome that may have applicability for how we introduce hospice and palliative care in other communities and cultures. Join Brandy Jones, DEI Manager and Community Educator for YoloCares, to learn more about the insights for practice gained from the Life Transitions Project. 

FACULTY

Brandy Jones, MPH(c)
DEI Manager and Community Educator, YoloCares

As a devoted Gerontology Specialist and candidate for a master’s in public health, Brandy's journey began at bedside care, fueled by a passion to understand and address non-medical factors impacting disease progression in the life-long experiences of the under-advantaged elderly.  Through a blend of academia, research, and many years of experience serving elders through direct patient care, her focus extends to cross-cultural aging and dismantling systemic barriers that hinder optimal aging and transitioning for the most marginalized members of our society.

Currently serving as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Manager at YoloCares, her ongoing work involves culturally focused community-based Hospice and Palliative Care education, program development, cultivating organizational accountability, and fostering solutions for the myriad of barriers faced by marginalized communities. Brandy was the leader of the Life Transition Project, a community-based participatory research project identifying barriers to care for Native American and rural communities, and solutions to improve services.

OBJECTIVES

• Increase utilization of palliative care and hospice services in underserved communities.
• Improve patient engagement strategies for patients from underserved populations who may be eligible for palliative care and hospice services.
