OCLC Conference Center, Lakeside Room

6600 Kilgour Place, Dublin, OH 43017

LeadingAge Ohio invites you to the annual statewide Palliative Care Summit. The Summit is a comprehensive, one-day conference designed to advance the understanding, accessibility, and integration of palliative care across Ohio. This conference will bring together healthcare providers, health plans, policymakers, and community leaders to discuss strategies for overcoming barriers, improving access, and ensuring quality palliative care for all Ohioans. The event will feature keynotes, moderated panels, and interactive discussions focused on practical strategies to reduce stigma, improving understanding, supporting earlier referrals across care settings, access, network adequacy, telehealth, and how plans evaluate palliative care partnerships.

Lunchtime will provide an opportunity for attendees to engage in tabletop discussions on pre-identified topics such as financial viability, early access to care, and developing community-based palliative care. The afternoon will focus on an applied look at expanding access through scalable models, statewide infrastructure, and operationally feasible data and workflows. As well as an update on state priorities, grant opportunities, signals of growing momentum for palliative care.

In addition, we will discuss the key themes from the day, priorities for moving forward, and opportunities for continued engagement. The conference will conclude with closing remarks highlighting the importance of continued collaboration and actions to strengthen and expand Ohio’s palliative care infrastructure for providers and patients.
