Achieving Sustainable Change in the Care of Older Adults with Serious Illness
Grant Summary
In order to improve the care of diverse, older adults experiencing serious illness, the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) seeks to integrate palliative care principles and practices into home-based care, advance health equity and scale innovation through a skill-building learning community within the Age-Friendly Health Systems movement. During the grant, CAPC will train 5,000 home-based clinicians in palliative and age-friendly care skills, engage 10 percent of CAPC members with new anti-racism and equity resources and implement palliative and age-friendly skill-building strategies with at least 25 new health care organizations. This initiative is co-funded by West Health Institute, Arthur Vining Davis Foundation and Milbank Memorial Fund.
