Jan. 30 - Are We Taking Care of Ourselves? Moral Distress in Palliative and Hospice Care

Healthcare is complex. Navigating issues among the patient, provider, health system and community is challenging. Navigating these moral waters is often especially difficult for those providing care to patients at the end of their life. As a result, providers can often experience feeling being unable to "do the right thing" for their patients, feeling emotionally and physically drained. This presentation will discuss practical strategies healthcare providers can use to uphold their moral commitments to patients as they practice in the ever-complex end of life care arena.  Join us!  Invite a colleague.  Register in the Upcoming Events section of this site.
