End-of-Life Care: PANEL EVENT
Have you ever thought about End-of-Life care? Do not be deterred if you are not familiar with this topic! We have a panel of experts that will guide us through an introduction to End-of-Life care, describe options available, discuss how professionals can support both families and patients, and of course what we can do to improve these experiences for both patients and providers! March's panel event is open to all and free of charge.
Light refreshments will be served.
