NASHP Blog: States Make Progress on Palliative Care
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) has published a blog, "States Make Progress on Palliative Care."
Palliative care is team-based care that provides support and relief, usually alongside curative treatment, to those with complex or life-threatening conditions. NASHP conducted 50-state research on state action related to palliative care and published the findings in a series of three interactive maps, updated in August 2022. They found that state health policymakers across the country are expanding palliative care or increasing awareness of palliative care through legislative and budgetary action, task forces, and information programs.
In the blog, NASHP discusses their findings and provides an overview of state action on palliative care. Read NASHP's recent newsletter on how states can support palliative care and subscribe for their quarterly updates.
