What becomes possible when medical providers, end-of-life doulas, and communities come together to reimagine how we care for one another at the end of life?
The Inaugural H. Peter Burg Palliative Care Symposium will be held April 27-29, 2027 at Northeast Ohio Medical University.
In April next year, individuals from who are medical professionals, end-of-life doulas, and community caregivers — individuals like you who are united in the shared purpose of prioritizing quality of life, peace, and human dignity for the dying — will gather from across the nation to collaborate for the first time in new ways on how to improve end-of-life care.
You’re invited to attend the Inaugural H. Peter Burg Palliative Care Symposium April 27-29. 2027. Our theme is It Takes a Village: Reimagining a Comprehensive Collaboration in End-of-Life Care.
It is not often, if at all, that these communities of caregivers for the dying get to work together, yet each of these communities holds a vital and precious piece of the end-of-life experience for people.
Through this unique gathering, the Office of Palliative Care at Northeast Ohio Medical University will bring these communities together in a safe space to reimagine new possibilities in how, where, and why end-of-life care happens moving forward.
The conference seeks to break down silos, recognize everyone as an equal partner, and emphasize our shared strengths. The goal is that as a unified group, we can meet the call for new ideas, explore new possibilities, and create new opportunities for the ways in which we embody and put into action the idea that we are all just “walking each other home.”
A detailed schedule of events is forthcoming, but you can learn more about some of the keynote participants and register for the conference by clicking this link. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
I’ll be sharing more information about the event in the coming months, but for now, I ask you to join me in this groundbreaking work. I hope to see you in person in April.
