The faculty would like to help health care providers and administrators identify potentially effective mechanisms of developing, sustaining and growing palliative care services based on their experience as they celebrate their 5th year of service delivery.
This symposium will describe some programs that the Palliative Care Service has developed to enhance access to palliative care and hospice, and to improve pain and symptom control in a primarily minority and economically disenfranchised population.
