Community Partners
The country’s leading health care systems are increasingly recognizing the benefits of offering palliative care to seriously and chronically ill patients to reduce their suffering, improve their quality of life and provide them with more choice and control over their care. The palliative care approach not only relieves seriously ill patients’ suffering, but from a health system perspective, it has been proven to improve patient outcomes, and patient and family satisfaction while reducing health care delivery costs. Likewise, organizations already dedicated to palliative care support recognize the need for a respected, knowledgeable educational partner to develop the workforce necessary to fulfill the industry’s growing need for skilled professionals.
