Explore the critical role of taste, texture, and presentation in supporting patient healing and satisfaction. Through an immersive group activity, participants will gain a new perspective of the in-patient dining experience. This session will connect the importance of taste, food as medicine, and the broader impact of nutrition on clinical outcomes, emotional well-being, and the overall patient experience.
As we wrap up our time together, join us for a calming, intentional close to the conference—one that invites reflection, connection, and forward vision. This guided meditation and open sharing circle will help you pause, breathe, and integrate everything you've taken in over the past few days.
Together, we’ll reflect on the challenges ahead, the commitments we want to make, and the impact we each hope to have. Through mindfulness and shared intention, we’ll center ourselves around one common goal: building a more compassionate, equitable, and human healthcare experience in 2026 and beyond.
Leave feeling grounded, inspired, and reconnected to your purpose.
