We have organized our agenda with experts from multiple disciplines who will present the newest research, treatments and trends in palliative and hospice care.

Jared Rubenstein, MD is a pediatric palliative care doctor and medical educator at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, TX, USA. He is passionate about helping people talk about difficult things and believes that the use of satire, animation, and humor can facilitate these conversations. When he’s not talking about palliative care, he loves traveling and spending time in nature with his wonderful wife and 2 kids.
