2021 Pediatric Psychosocial and Palliative Care Virtual Conference

Our third annual Pediatric Psychosocial and Palliative Care Conference was a huge success! This year’s theme, Creating a Culture of Healing Empowerment, focused on standards of care and how to create a personalized approach that addresses the physical, psychological, and social effects that a possibly life-threatening illness can have on a family.

Our virtual conference brought together world-class experts in pediatric psychosocial and palliative care who motivated, inspired, and shared their latest work with health care professionals.

Speakers included:

• Justin Baker, MD
• Ahmar Zaidi, MD
• Lenny Wexler, MD
• Abby Rosenberg, MD
• Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg (Rabbi G), Founder of Kids Kicking Cancer

We will also welcomed guest speaker, Suleika Jaouad, author of the New York Times best-selling memoir “Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted.” At age 22, Suleika was diagnosed with leukemia and began writing her New York Times column “Life, Interrupted” from her hospital room at Sloan-Kettering. Since then, she has become a fierce advocate for those living with illness and enduring life’s many other interruptions.

We look forward to seeing you next year!
