All attendees qualified to receive two CLE (Continuing Legal Education) credits in Ethics and Professionalism.
The conference is organized by Calvary’s Professional Advisors Council (PAC). The PAC was established by the Calvary Fund, Inc. in 2001 to assist the Board of Directors and staff in securing the financial support required to operate the country’s only acute care specialty hospital dedicated to the palliative care of patients with advanced cancer and other life limiting diseases. PAC members are volunteers from the legal, investment, accounting, insurance, and banking professions.
