Without research, palliative care is an art, not a science.

Annual Palliative Care Retreat Presentations

The purpose of the 2nd Annual Kathleen Foley Palliative Care Retreat and Research Symposium was to provide an opportunity for interdisciplinary palliative care researchers to come together to network, learn from each other, discuss the science of palliative care and develop new research ideas and collaborations.

Below, please find a few of the presentations that were given at the retreat.
