Role-play participants were among more than 140 social workers who traveled to City of Hope from across the country on Aug. 23 and 24 for the Promoting Excellence in Pain Management and Palliative Care for Social Workers conference. The conference aimed to better integrate social workers into pain management and end-of-life care nationwide.
