In 2017, Dr. Acquaviva’s groundbreaking book, LGBTQ-Inclusive Hospice & Palliative Care: A Practical Guide to Transforming Professional Practice, was published by Harrington Park Press and distributed by Columbia University Press. Dr. Acquaviva’s goal was to give providers in hospice and palliative care — physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, social workers, counselors, and chaplains — ways in which they can transform their practices so they’re comprehensively LGBTQ-inclusive.
Dr. Acquaviva designed and included tools in the publication for programs or providers to self-reflect on their policies and practices so they can “transform care for all the patients and families” they serve.
