Each year, GHPCO strives to create an annual educational conference focused on leadership and clinical topics from a variety of local, regional and national experts in many different fields. This year's theme, "Making the Compassion Connection: Purpose – People – Principles" provides a broad platform from which to discuss the changes in our system of care delivery and the continuum of care which includes chronic illness care, palliative medicine and hospice. What are the forward-looking trends in how people are living with advanced illness and experiencing dying? What about historical perspectives? How do we find our way back to the PURPOSE of hospice and palliative medicine? How do we connect with PEOPLE – both inside our organizations and in the community – to tell the story about end-of-life care? What PRINCIPLES of leadership, care delivery, process improvement, quality, and ethics are necessary as we move along toward a new future? Register today to join your colleagues in an environment of collaborative learning and conference fun!
