A central priority of its plan is to determine how to further prioritize the comfort and wellbeing of patients. As such, the Organization began the process of developing a palliative care program and is currently in the process of strengthening referral sources and retaining qualified staff to implement the clinical care. To date, the organization has continued with implementation and has made great strides in collaborating with hospitals and ACOs.
