Upcoming Events
Nov. 3
Over the last number of months, a team comprising UCalgary, AHS and community members has put together a unique Advance Care Planning panel to be held at the Genesis Centre on the 3rd of November, 2019. Muslim Perspectives on Advance Care Planning: Thinking about your personal health care wishes intends to bring about open discussion and respectful dialogue on this important topic that is often not discussed in homes, and on which there may be a plurality of views. The target audiences for this event are not only members of the various Muslim communities (a diversity of which are represented on the panel, including doctors/patients) but also members of the research and clinical communities who may be interested about thoughts and views from a sizable portion of Calgary's population.
Please review the enclosed stake holder letter and posters, as well as the following EventBrite link that contains more information and registration details:
