The 2022 Ascend Leadership Forum is a two-day in-person intensive to support hospice and palliative care professionals as they develop the capabilities required to lead their organization in implementing new directions. This program includes a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary faculty and learners from diverse backgrounds and practice settings.
