Request an Education Session

 As a relatively new field of medicine, our palliative care team knows that there are a lot of people, famillies and healthcare providers who want to learn more about palliative care.  Stanford Palliative Care collaborates with Stanford Health Care's Patient Experience/Health Education, Engagement, and Promotion team to offer educational services to both our Stanford community and the broader communities of surrounding counties. 

If you have a group who would like to receive additional education about palliative care, whether you are representing a group of healthcare providers at Stanford, non-Stanford healthcare providers, a community organization, or a group of community members,  please complete the form below to submit a request, and our team will be happy to get in contact with you about helping to meet your group's needs.
