Palliative Pupus (zoom) Sept 2025

We’d like to invite you to zoom only Palliative Pupus.

This month: Hospice Mauiʻs Interdisciplinary Team will be presenting a complex palliative care and hospice case involving a single mother of two young children who experienced a recurrence of aggressive metastatic breast cancer. The case was marked by challenging family dynamics, conflicting goals of care, and difficult-to-manage symptoms. Navigating care required creative problem-solving and full engagement of our interdisciplinary team to ensure compassionate, coordinated support for both the patient and her family.

Our exciting local bi-monthly networking and clinical education opportunity on zoom. Come participate in an interactive interdisciplinary story from the cutting edge of hospice and palliative care and mingle with colleagues from all over the islands on zoom. If you are involved with palliative care cases, you are invited. Please tell your colleagues and friends. 

At the May meeting we meet on zoom only, to include neighbor islands and others on zoom.

How does Palliative Pupus work?

The theme and presenters for each ‘Palliative Pupus’ is announced one to two weeks prior to the meeting date via our Kōkua Mau eNewsletter. If you are not receiving our eNewsletter yet, please subscribe here and we will keep you informed.

What is Palliative Pupus?

Our first successful Palliative Pupus meeting was held November 17, 2010 and has since become a bi-monthly event every third Wednesday of the month. (Except November due to Thanksgiving)

The model is an informal, interactive, collegial, pau hana to present and discuss challenging cases as a group.  Palliative Pupus is for clinicians in a variety of fields: doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains.
