UF Health Palliative Care supports patients living with serious illness and their families.

Other funded services funded by this endowment include:
Staff Support/Education and Professional Development
Provided time for care team members to remember and honor patients who passed away during the year.
Purchased books and materials focused on pain and symptom management to improve patient care.
Funded tuition for a UF Health chaplain to expand expertise in palliative care.
