Abstract
Primary care providers often express a desire to be more involved with their patients as they transition to hospice care. Given that these providers have a central role in the care of their patients, they have the potential to significantly improve the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer patients who face serious illnesses. This article discusses the barriers to quality hospice and palliative care experienced by many sexual and gender minorities, as well as specific ways in which primary care physicians can promote equitable end-of-life care.
