Funders Support Palliative Care
The November 2021
GrantWatch column, by Lee L. Prina, focused on "Funders' Support Of Palliative And End-Of-Life Care."
Among interesting efforts mentioned is a program funded by the Rita and Alex Hillman Foundation and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations supporting early-stage "nursing-driven interventions that seek to radically improve the provision of palliative and end of life care." Also, a California Health Care Foundation staffer explained to the journal that it plans to wind down its palliative care focus area.
