Friday, March 28 from 8:15 am to 4:15 pm

This one day conference is offered by the Department of Chaplaincy & Pastoral Education, Division of Faith & Health Ministries, Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, as a multi-disciplinary, inter-professional focus on the sacred journey of dying and death. Throughout the centuries caregivers have struggled to provide intimate and holistic care of the dying. Ancient practices have proven beneficial as have the new, more current care of the dying through pain management and comfort care. Today our culture continues to struggle in knowing how to be present and in being comfortable in that presence, with patients, and the families & caregivers who are at the bedside of the dying.

This conference will invite caregivers to be authentically present, communicate with vulnerability, honesty, and compassion; as well as administer palliative-based comfort care healing modalities for improving care at the end of life.
