New at CAPC: August 2025

CAPC is constantly creating new products—and updating existing ones—to ensure you have the best tools and technical assistance to do your job. Here's an update about what we've done in August 2025.

CAPC is offering new virtual clinical workshops focused on the use of ketamine for patients living with serious illness, particularly those experiencing refractory pain and treatment-resistant depression. Taught by expert faculty, these case-based, two-hour interactive sessions equip clinicians with practical knowledge on the safe and effective use of ketamine, including real-world applications and clinical decision-making strategies.

CAPC membership is NOT required, but members receive discounted registration.

Efficiency vs. Effectiveness: How to use both concepts to help leaders and teams measure activity and impact. This case study describes how both concepts need to be reviewed by leadership when developing sustainable palliative care programs.

This year at the CAPC National Seminar, we will two honor individuals whose work exemplifies excellence, leadership, and innovation in the field of palliative care.

• The 2025 CAPC Innovation Award will be presented to Blyth Lord, EdM, Founder and Executive Director of Courageous Parents Network.
• The inaugural James Block Award for Ethical Leadership in Health Care will be presented to Mark Kantrow, MD, FAAHPM, System Medical Director for Palliative Care at the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System.

Join us in recognizing the 2025 award recipients whose efforts are driving real change for patients, families, and communities.
