Why This Conference
This conference is designed to foster dialogue about faith, family, and the end-of-life journey—and to give faith leaders practical guidance they can use immediately in their communities.
Attendees will leave with:
- A clearer understanding of palliative and end-of-life care
- Practical tools for ministering to people facing serious illness and loss
- Insight into how palliative care can be leveraged across diverse communities
- A chance to connect with other leaders navigating similar needs
“The end-of-life journey demands both exceptional medical expertise and profound spiritual support. Navigating end-of-life care requires empathy, understanding and compassion. Our primary goal with this conference is to empower the bedrock of our communities — our faith leaders — with tools and practical knowledge they can apply to interactions with members of their congregations.”
— Michael J. Fosina, MPH, FACHE, President, Calvary Hospital
