Palliative Care ECHO

Join us for a special three part series where we explore critical elements of POLST (Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment). As Alaska transitions from Comfort One to POLST, our hub team of subject matter experts and guest speakers will offer educational and resource support and a forum for discussion to participants from the interdisciplinary healthcare team.
