The CSU Shiley Haynes Institute for Palliative Care at CSU San Marcos shares a campus home with the systemwide Institute, but has a local focus, working to create innovative programs that expand awareness of and access to palliative care in the diverse communities of San Diego County.
The CSU Shiley Haynes Institute for Palliative Care has a proven track record. Read this case study to learn how an Institute course helped a strategic team from a South Carolina hospital make the business case for palliative care by showing their palliative care pilot program saved the hospital $2 million in its first year.
The Institute offers scholarships to cover the full cost of tuition in any Institute course, funded by philanthropist Darlene Marcos Shiley to provide training that can enhance care for patients and families in the San Diego region. Join the interest list below.

The Institute and its Campus Partners began work in 2018 on a pilot program for an online Faculty Toolkit to help college and university faculty integrate palliative care content into classes in multiple disciplines. The online modules include resources and interactive learning activities that focus on the basics of palliative care and health disparities in palliative care.
It is requested that anyone who requires auxiliary aids such as sign language interpreters and alternative format materials notify the event sponsor at least seven business days in advance. Every reasonable effort will be made to provide reasonable accommodations.
