GANS Lunch and Learn: Palliative and Therapeutic Harmonization Clinic

Dr. Paige Moorhouse, who founded the clinic with Dr. Laurie Mallery, will explain the process:clip_image002_0001

“There are times when a person is frail and nearing the end of life that medical treatments meant to improve health can actually create new problems or prolong dying,” says Dr. Moorhouse.

The PATH process involves three clinic visits, which include:

  • a comprehensive physical, psychological and social  assessment,
  • an exchange of expectations and information between the patient, family and health care providers,
  • learning new skills, to help the patient and their family with future health decisions

The Lunch and Learn is at 12pm, Friday May 21 at the Royal Bank Theatre, 1st flr Halifax Infirmary, 1769 Summer St.

Please feel free to bring a friend!
