Palliative Care, Hospice, and Wellness

End-of-Life Care

End-of-Life Care will address the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of patients during the final stages of life. It will explore compassionate approaches to end-of-life care, including communication, symptom management, advance care planning, patient preferences, and family support. Speakers may discuss ethical challenges, decision-making, dignity, and culturally appropriate care. End-of-Life Care will also highlight the importance of respecting patient wishes and providing individualized support. Healthcare professionals can share clinical experiences and research related to improving end-of-life services. Discussions may include care in hospitals, hospices, nursing homes, and home settings. The track aims to encourage compassionate and dignified end-of-life care while helping families and healthcare professionals navigate difficult decisions.
