The CurePSP Virtual Care Conference (previously known as the Virtual Family Conference) is an opportunity for our community to hear from various healthcare providers on topics that will be applicable to patients, care partners, and families. Many of these topics have been requested by our community members and will help you navigate your daily lives.
The Virtual Care Conference will consist of educational presentations related to palliative care, vision, apathy, wheelchair evaluations and the emotional journey of the disease. We will also have interactive sessions related to music therapy and chair yoga. All of the sessions will include a live Q&A after each presentation. Please submit questions via registration.
All sessions will be recorded and posted on our YouTube channel after the event.
