Bridging inequities in palliative and end-of-life care: The role and experiences of community connectors
The Community Connector model is a feasible and culturally responsive approach to improving access to cancer and palliative care in underserved communities. Future programmes should provide clearer role definitions, sustained funding, and training in emotional resilience and cultural competence. Further research is needed to assess the long-term impact of this model on health outcomes and its integration into mainstream health services.
