CAPC’s Palliative Care Leadership Centers’ social entrepreneurship model is the key to the diffusion of innovation in health care. PCLC training reduces the opportunity costs for palliative care program startup and delivery. It also standardizes best practices for all areas of program development and growth, including business and financial planning, clinical and staffing models, measurement, and staffing. Over the past 20 years, more than 1,300 palliative care teams have trained with a PCLC. And, 80% of them went on to institute palliative care services within two years.
Today, there are eight Palliative Care Leadership Centers, including:
- Bluegrass Care Navigators, Lexington, KY
- Mount Carmel Health System, Columbus, OH
- Northwell Health, Manhasset, NY
- Presbyterian Healthcare Services, Albuquerque, NM
- University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Medical Center, Birmingham, AL
- University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), San Francisco, CA
- University of Virginia Health System (UVA), Charlottesville, VA
- Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center; Richmond, VA
“As the demand for palliative care services has increased exponentially, it remains vitally important that we continue to build and expand successful, sustainable palliative care programs. We are proud that Palliative Care Leadership Centers have played a crucial role in providing a necessary foundation of practical knowledge and coaching for new and growing palliative care teams for more than two decades,” said Brynn Bowman, chief executive officer at CAPC.
