Palliative Care, Hospice, and Wellness

Quality of Life & Wellness

Quality of Life & Wellness will focus on improving overall quality of life for people living with serious or life-limiting illnesses. Topics may include symptom control, nutrition, mobility, emotional support, social relationships, meaningful activities, and patient-centered care. Experts may present research on measuring quality of life and evaluating supportive interventions. Quality of Life & Wellness will emphasize understanding each patient’s individual goals, preferences, and priorities. Healthcare professionals can exchange practical strategies for promoting comfort, independence, dignity, and well-being. The track aims to ensure that palliative care focuses not only on illness management but also on helping patients live as comfortably and meaningfully as possible.
