Post Inpatient Palliative Care in a Rural Hospital
Author: JHilton
Date: Dec 27, 2007 1:46 pm
We are investigating the feasibility of starting a formal palliative care program in our rural hospital. When I say rural, I mean a 24 bed Critical Access Hospital. Does anyone have any experience starting such a program, or resources to share regarding a rural setting specifically?

We initiated our Palliative Care Service 6 months ago. We have 100 beds in our rural hospital. I am happy to share our experience. Email would probably be the easiest way to do this... Best of Luck, Mary Anne Keane, APRN mkeane@skylakes.org
