All-City Palliative Care Lecture Series

Four smiling health care professionals sitting in a meeting.

All-City Palliative Care is a collaboration among Portland-area organizations and healthcare professionals from diverse disciples who are in pursuit of providing exceptional palliative care.

To help empower one another and their programs, they hold a monthly All-City Palliative Care Lecture Series from October through May of each year. Each speaker leads an informative and engaging conversation focused on a variety of palliative medicine topics, such as ideas, innovation, policies, or challenges in the field of palliative care.

The lecture series is an excellent opportunity for sharing experiences, improving care for patients and their families, and promoting the well-being and support of colleagues.
