We are a free-standing hospice and would like to identify if anyone has designed a program that is not hospital or facility based.

Re:Hospice (home care) based Palliative Care (by janetbraun on 02/29/2008)
There are many palliative care programs that have originated from free standing hospices. Ours is one of them. It includes a PC consult service, that we partner with local hospitals to provide. We also have an out-pt clinic, and a pc consult service that functions within long-term care settings. Programs interested in starting a program are encouraged to attend the PCLC in Lexington KY, as that is our model and the platform from which all of our programs spring. You might want to check out our web site at www.hospicebg.org to learn more. I'd welcome your questions. Janet L. Braun, RN, MSPH Leadership Director Palliative Care Center of the Bluegrass Palliative Care Leadership Center Lexington, KY
