2022 GHPCO Annual Clinical and Leadership Conference

We’re Still Standing

Dr. Bertice Berry as Keynote Speaker

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. This year’s theme, “We’re Still Standing” provides a broad platform from which to acknowledge the hardships and heroic efforts hospice and palliative care providers face during COVID and beyond. How do we maintain regulatory compliance while providing end-of-life care during a pandemic? What is the reality of providing care to people who are living with advanced illness and experiencing dying? How do we honor the professionals who enhance our reputation with patients and their families while meeting the demands of hospice and palliative medicine? Hospice and Palliative Care providers consistently meet the standards related to the principles of leadership, care delivery, process improvement, quality, and ethics and thereby are essential to enhancing the quality and effectiveness of care.

Join us IN-PERSON at the GHPCO Annual Clinical and Leadership Conference in celebration of our industry as we seek to provide the highest quality hospice and palliative care services throughout Georgia.
