Geisinger Holy Spirit will host a day-long forum on palliative care. "Palliative Care: Experiencing a Full Life" will explore the origins of palliative care medicine, its mission and goals, and how it can help patients experience life to the fullest. Presenters will also address the ethical challenges surrounding end-of-life decision-making, including the determination of ordinary vs. extraordinary means of care, criteria for withholding or withdrawing life-sustaining treatments, and proper application of the Catholic Church's teaching on medically assisted nutrition and hydration.
