Hands, Heart, and Mind at the Bedside

OCTOBER 23–25, 2026
Boston, MA
Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School

2026 THEME

The 2026 theme speaks to a tension many of us experience in healthcare today: healthcare as an industry versus medicine as a calling. We want to reflect on what it means to care for patients as whole persons, to have hands willing to touch suffering, a heart that remains open and hopeful, and a mind that truly sees the whole picture of human dignity.
