NASHP State Palliative Care Policies and Emerging Innovations webinar 918 1

The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) is holding a webinar September 18 on, "State Palliative Care Policies and Emerging Innovations."

Palliative care is team-based care that provides support and relief, usually alongside curative treatment, to those with complex or life-threatening conditions.

This webinar will highlight recent state policies that expand access to palliative care and key takeaways from a new Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) report that spotlights home-based palliative care. A Hawaii state official will also outline developments and advancements to establish a Medicaid state plan benefit for community-based palliative care.

  • Scott Bane, JD, MPA, Program Officer, JAHF
  • Allison Silvers, Chief Health Care Transformation Officer, CAPC
  • Salom Teshale, PhD, Senior Policy Associate, NASHP
