Palliative Pupus July 2023
2023-07-19 17:15 - 19:00
This month we’ll hear about: The theme and presenters for each ‘Palliative Pupus’ is announced one to two weeks prior to the meeting date via our Kōkua Mau eNewsletter.

We will continue to meet virtually on zoom in 2023

This month’s case involves the withdrawl of a vent at home and the unique challenges and polices to help patients die at home with their loved ones.

How does Palliative Pupus work?

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.

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)
