Heterotaxy as a Whole and Palliative Care: Part 1

Facing Heterotaxy Together 2025

Heterotaxy affects the whole body and the whole family, and requires a care team that takes this big picture perspective into account. In this session, Dr. Shih-Ning Liaw and Chelsea Heneghan, MSN, CNP, part of the palliative care team at Boston Children’s Hospital, will explore how palliative care fits into this holistic approach. They’ll discuss what palliative care is, how it differs from and complements other types of medical care, who is eligible to receive it, and how families can access these services.
