Center to Advance Palliative Care Resources: Caregiver Support Initiative
The Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) has published a new set of resources for health care professionals called the "Caregiver Support Initiative."
The Caregiver Support Initiative features guidance and learning opportunities to help health care organizations provide meaningful support to family caregivers. The resources include:
