The inaugural “Understanding Palliative Care from a Catholic Perspective” session was held on 5 Nov 2024, where Friar Edward Lim and specialist practitioners from the Assisi Care Team, including our doctor and colleagues from the Psychosocial Support and Clinical Pastoral Care team, shared their insights on providing compassionate palliative care in alignment with Catholic values. We received overwhelming response for the event which was open to the public, and about 100 attendees benefitted from the session which explored the intersection of palliative care and the Catholic faith, highlighting how the Assisi team supports patients through their end-of-life journey with dignity, compassion, and spiritual guidance. Attendees were deeply engaged and participated actively in the lively Q&A session with the speakers. It was a significant opportunity for reflection and education, reinforcing our commitment to holistic, faith-based care at Assisi Hospice.
