Abstract
Along the continuum of care, the transition towards end of life often provokes anxiety and requires medical assistance from palliative care providers. Unfortunately, historical, legal and medical barriers often prevent lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual patients from receiving essential palliative services. This article seeks to explain currently known barriers faced by these patients in obtaining palliative care, and offer preliminary solutions that can be implemented by all providers.
