Virtual Experience
The AAHPM and HPNA Boards have decided to hold the Annual Assembly as a fully virtual experience. We are excited that we will be able to provide top quality educational content and engaging options for connection and rejuvenation through our interactive platform, coming in early February. Read the FAQs about this update.
The Annual Assembly of Hospice and Palliative Care, presented by the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM) and the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA), is a 3-day event that brings together your colleagues and peers to share research, clinical best practices, and practice-related guidance to advance the specialty and improve patient care.
