Fortney, the Advances in Neonatal Care guest editor, and assistant professor at The Ohio State University College of Nursing, to discuss the Journal's upcoming special series on palliative care. Often misunderstood by both health professionals and families, palliative care has become synonymous with end of life care – a limited definition that does not contain the full scope of palliative care. Dr. Fortney covers how to appropriately define palliative care, explains benefits of palliative care, and discusses the perspectives of both health professionals and parents when it comes to having patients in a palliative care program. </p> <h3><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-healing-power-of-music/id1488947679?i=1000464451852" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>The Healing Power of Music</strong></a></h3> <p>What makes music therapy so vital in the NICU?
