Virtual conferences are the current trend while we cope with the pandemic. Today Helen and Jerry are talking about the benefits of attending a hospice conference virtually.    If you’re a hospice professional, ongoing education is essential to maintain current working knowledge of clinical care, regulations, and industry trends. Virtual attendance saves you money and time on travel, plus you can attend on your own schedule from the comfort of your own computer!  No matter what your discipline may be, there’s a conference for you.  Chaplains can look into “Caring for the Human Spirit” sponsored by the Healthcare Chaplaincy Network.  NHPCO has their Interdisciplinary Conference coming up in October 2020, and the Leadership and Advocacy Conference in March 2021. The  American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine Annual Assembly is being held in February 2021.  Locate the state hospice organization for your area on the Hospice Foundation of America website to find a conference for your state.  You’ll find more resources and support at theheartofhospice.com.  Your hospice journey matters whether you’re a hospice professional, a patient, or a family caregiver.  You are The Heart of Hospice.
