Conference details
Keynote speakers
We were thrilled to welcome our keynote speakers:
Dr. Maisha T. Robinson, MD, MSHPM, FAAN, FAAHPM
An Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at Mayo Clinic in Florida, with a joint appointment in the Department of Medicine. Upon joining the staff of Mayo Clinic, she established the clinic’s first neuropalliative care program and she currently serves as the Division Chair of Palliative Medicine, as the Chair of the Community Relations Committee, and as the Chair of the Ethics Subcommittee
Dr. Ashlee R. Loughan, PhD, LCP
A clinical neuropsychologist and associate professor within the School of Medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University and Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center. Throughout her tenure, she has steadily pursued a commitment to excellence in patient centered neuro-oncological care and practice-changing research.
Their insights helped frame our conversations and inspire continued growth and integration in the field.
We encourage participation from all healthcare professionals and community members—whether you practice primary palliative care or specialize in the field. We especially welcome colleagues from across the WWAMI region, as we aim to foster a diverse, inclusive dialogue that spans the full scope of palliative and neuropalliative care.
The conference included both broadly applicable palliative care content and sessions specifically focused on neuropalliative care, ensuring something of value for every attendee.
