At this time there is a need to talk deeply about the racial and ethnic disparities in end of life care and explore how we make real change. We can no longer ignore these issues, but must face them head-on. This will require an internal change in the individuals serving dying people and their loved ones, as well as institutional change that dismantles the systems of bias. In this hour-long webinar, we will examine these issues and the role of doulas in this journey toward equity in care.
This webinar will the first in a series of conversations about these topics, which will be open to anyone who wants to attend, whether or not they are a member of INELDA. Joining us for this conversation will be Corey Kennard, Pastor of Amplify Christian Church in Detroit, MI, who has decades of experience in palliative care and hospice. Corey has led a spiritual care team at one of Detroit’s largest hospitals and serves in the administration and as Manager of Patient Experience. He also has served as a Faculty Lead for Duke University’s Institute on Care at the End of Life (ICEOL) national training program called, “APPEAL.” In this role, he was instrumental in co-creating a national teaching module for understanding spirituality at the end-of-life. He has provided consultation, and many informative and motivational conference presentations. He also serves as a National Advisory Board Member for The Hospice Foundation of America and is Co-Director of a Community Faith Advance Care Planning Project for the University of Virginia. He has been published in the Journal of Palliative Medicine and the New York Times, written motivational columns for the Detroit News, and authored two books.
