Our planning committee is hard at work planning our 2025 Pain Society of Alberta conference. We are excited to unveil the location for our next conference and keynote speakers in early 2025.
Our 19th Annual Conference
Oct 16 - 18
Pain education and support is an immense, under-serviced, and intimidating specialty. The lack of timely access to affordable, quality healthcare exacerbates the burden of pain, widening the gaps between providers and individuals with lived experience.
Recognizing the significant impact this has on individuals and their communities, The Pain Society of Alberta provides a platform that celebrates innovation, promotes continuous learning, and empowers change.
The Pain Society of Alberta
ABOUT
A reminder of our interconnectedness with each other, the land, and the ongoing process of reconciliation.
The Pain Society of Alberta respectfully acknowledges that our offices, board, administration, and volunteers are situated on the traditional lands of the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. We recognize and honor their resilience and continued existence, which serve as a reminder of our Treaty obligations and relationships.
As we convene to discuss matters related to healthcare, pain management, and well-being, we remember that the pain experienced by Indigenous communities goes beyond physical sensations, encompassing the pain of historical injustices, loss, and ongoing struggles. It is our responsibility to listen, learn, and work toward a more inclusive and equitable society, where all individuals have access to quality healthcare and support.
Let us acknowledge this land's original caretakers with gratitude and humility, and commit ourselves to building relationships based on understanding, collaboration, and shared prosperity. May we strive to honor the spirit of these treaties and contribute to the collective healing and growth of our communities.
