Dr. Christopher Kerr, MD, PhD Chief Medical Officer and Chief Executive Officer, Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo, Inc. Author, Death is But a Dream
Experiences at the end of life, including dreams and visions, testify to our greatest needs: to love and be loved, to be nurtured and feel connected, to be remembered, and forgiven. Although medically ignored, such experiences are near-universal experiences that often provide comfort and meaning. To date, the research team at Hospice Buffalo has published multiple studies on this topic and documented over 1,500 end-of-life events, many of which are videotaped. Dr. Kerr will share what his research has found with 2027 Symposium attendees. He will also lead a discussion about what is currently missing in our current medical care model when it comes to end-of-life patient care.
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Christopher Kerr as our keynote speaker for next year’s Elder Care Symposium. Please mark September 9, 2027 on your calendar!
