Introduction:
Join us at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA for The 19th Annual Divine Mercy Medicine, Bioethics and Spirituality Conference to explore the role of compassion and mercy in healthcare.

Our world is calling for compassion as a powerful force behind healthcare delivery and as a pathway to acts of mercy and love.

Objectives:
The participants will learn:
1. The meaning and interaction of compassion and mercy
