2021 Pediatric Psychosocial and Palliative Care Virtual Conference
Join us November 3-4, 2021, for our third annual Pediatric Psychosocial and Palliative Care Conference. This year’s theme, Creating a Culture of Healing Empowerment, will focus on standards of care and how to create a personalized approach to address the physical, psychological, and social effects that a possibly life-threatening illness can have on a family.
Our virtual conference will bring together world-class experts on pediatric psychosocial and palliative care to motivate, inspire and share their latest work with health care professionals.
Speakers include:
- Justin Baker, MD
- Ahmar Zaidi, MD
- Lenny Wexler, MD
- Abby Rosenberg, MD
- Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg (Rabbi G), Founder of Kids Kicking Cancer
We also welcome special guest, Suleika Jaouad, author of 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.
