Let's get into it.

Welcome back to the Gator PICU Podcast.

My name is Michael Mamie.

I'm one of the nurse practitioners in the Pediatric Intensive- Intensive Care Unit.

I'm here today with Amanda Bradshaw and Alyssa Hood, the Women's and Children's Nursing Professional Development Specialist.

Today's episode focuses on an area of medicine that is incredibly important to the PICU, but can sometimes be misunderstood, pediatric palliative care.

When we hear words like pe- uh, palliative care, it's easy to immediately think about end-of-life care, but it is so much more.

Today we are joined by Dr. Celine Cattier to help us better understand the pediatric palliative care look, how, how it looks, and how palliative care and the PICU teams can work together to support our patients and families.

Dr. Cattier, thank you f- so much for joining us today.
