We Wish We Knew That! Insights + Ideas for Saying What Matters, When it Matters Most | May 20th | in Portsmouth on 20 May 2024
Monday, May 20, 2024, 1800 - 2000
During this event, real-life stories and personal insights revealed by both caregivers and members of the healthcare community will illuminate the things they wish they had known during healthcare conversations. They will also share suggestions to inspire and encourage each of us to take an active role in our own care coordination and explore strategies for having meaningful and clear discussions about our health and what is important to us.

The roundtable guests include Shannon Calabro, Licensed Medical Social Worker; Michele Gravelle, Difficult Conversation Consultant and "Reluctant Caregiver"; Dr. Sarah MacDuffie, Palliative Care Physician; and Patricia O'Connor, Hospice/Palliative Care Nurse Practitioner and Author of "Navigating Life's Final Journey: Conversations, Choices, Resource." The group will be facilitated by Laura Cleminson, Pre-Dead Social Club Founder, Death Doula and TedxPortsmouth 2024 speaker.

Individuals and their families find it increasingly challenging to navigate a fractured medical system that often includes a myriad of specialists with the potential for incomplete record sharing and splintered communication between medical providers.

"Our various healthcare providers each own a 'piece' of our medical care, but who owns the responsibility to ask the important questions, coordinate the care and connect all the dots--the patient, a spouse, an adult child, a social worker, your primary physician?" The answers come as a surprise to many," shares Cleminson. "Michele, Shannon, Sarah and Pat will convey relatable stories and insights, which we believe attendees will want to share with family, friends and co-workers."

You will go home with:
+ Personal insights and real life stories to share.
+ Inspiration to take a more active role in care conversations.
+ Suggestions to discuss with your care team
