Well-known Duke University physician and psychiatrist Harold G. Koenig, M.D. will provide an expert review of findings regarding the connection between medicine and religion, present a clear discussion of what the evidence means, and discuss practical recommendations for integrating scientific and spiritual care. The general public will find his presentation fascinating and informative and health professionals will find it essential for their understanding of, and compassionate caring for, their patients.
This health and wellness event will feature two keynote sessions, question and answer session with the keynoter, panel discussion, exhibitors, and a charity raffle. The conference opens Friday evening with a dynamic presentation by Rev. Maggie Sebastian titled "Winter Grace" which explores spirituality and health in the latter season of life, followed by a time for networking and fellowship.
