I've been seeking similar information with no success.
Medical history aside. I'm fairly sure I qualify and have even contacted my insurance company for starters.
Otherwise no clue where to begin.
Reaching out on social media, Not ready For detailed conversation with family.
Any updates as of Apr 1, 2024?
Thanks for any advice you may provide

Hi @joybo99, here is more information about palliative care at Mayo Clinic
https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/palliative-care/about/pac-20384637
and

I'm not sure if you are a patient at Mayo Clinic or not. But wherever you get care, a good place to begin might be to talk with a social worker and ask about palliative care options available to you.

You mention that you're not ready for detailed conversation with family. Are you referring to those tough end of life conversations?
