Stop by for free pizza and drinks! Learn more about advance care planning, resources for family caregivers, and services available to students and families facing long-term serious illness.
The WGYLM® Campaign
With the simple question, "What Gives Your Life Meaning?", the WGYLM® Campaign promotes public awareness of palliative care and related topics. The WGYLM® Campaign provides a way for organizations and groups to educate the public about palliative care, advance healthcare planning, family caregiving, and the value of reflecting on what means most to us--and sharing those reflections with those who might care and speak for us someday.
