About the Conference

The 2024 Conference theme is Palliative Care, Everywhere. Ontario Health has articulated a model of care for community-based palliative care (home and hospice). Models of care for adult palliative care in hospitals and paediatric palliative care in all settings are being developed, and a palliative approach to care has been mandated for long-term care.

The conference connects hundreds of delegates from across Ontario. For three days, HPCO will host thought leaders, service providers, healthcare professionals, health system planners, researchers, policymakers, administrators, front-line practitioners, and volunteers from across the healthcare spectrum. The main conference is June 9 to 11, followed by a post-conference paediatric palliative care symposium on June 12. Delegates come together to share, debate, learn, and co-create solutions that will ensure equitable palliative care is available everywhere. The June 2023 conference attracted over 725 delegates, putting the conference back on track to its pre-pandemic attendance record of 850 delegates. 

Who Attends?

HPCO’s conference attracts between 700-850 delegates from across Ontario, including: CEOs and Administrators, Board Members, Care Coordinators, Directors of Care, RNs, and RPNs, Educators and Researchers, Fundraising Professionals, Greif & Bereavement Professionals, Health System Planners, Medical Directors, Program Managers, Spiritual Care Professionals, and Volunteer Managers.
