A Speaker With Lived Experiences

Healthcare keynote presentations, professional development sessions, and organizational training — grounded in expertise, shaped by experience, and designed to equip the people who show up every day for aging populations.

The Difference Experience Makes

There is no shortage of speakers who can present the clinical facts of aging, caregiving, and end-of-life care. Kelly Price Noble, DHA, MAOM, CRCFEA, CSA® brings something different: the combination of a healthcare administrator, a clinical researcher, a federal advocate, and a daughter who traveled monthly across the country to care for her aging parents.

That intersection — academic depth and lived reality — is what makes her presentations land differently. Audiences leave not only informed but steadied. Not only equipped but reminded of why the work matters.

Kelly’s Areas of Focus

Aging and Caregiving

The emotional and practical landscape of caring for aging parents and loved ones — including how to sustain the caregiver, not just the person receiving care. Rooted in both research and personal experience, these presentations meet audiences where the work actually lives.

Palliative Care and Hospice

Presentations designed to deepen understanding of palliative care philosophy, the distinction between palliative care and hospice, and how healthcare teams and families can approach serious illness with greater presence and less fear. Drawing on her work in palliative care consulting, Kelly brings both clinical grounding and human warmth to these conversations.

Advance Care Planning

One of the most underserved conversations in American healthcare is the one families need to have before a crisis forces the issue. Kelly addresses advance care planning — what it is, why it matters, and how to make those conversations possible — in a way that is accessible to both professional and general audiences.

Mindfulness in Healthcare and Caregiving

Grounded in the framework of her book series, these presentations explore how mindfulness — as a practical tool for presence, not a spiritual practice — can transform the experience of both receiving and providing care. This topic bridges clinical and personal audiences and connects directly to A Mindfulness Journey: Caring for an Aging Population.

Healthcare Ethics and Patient-Centered Care
Drawing on years of advocacy before Congress and leadership within the Veterans Affairs and nonprofit healthcare sectors and the classroom, Kelly addresses the ethical dimensions of end-of-life decision-making, patient dignity, and the organizational structures that either support or undermine person-centered care.
