Description
The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations' Palliative Care program focuses on advancing medical education, patient experience, and healthcare quality in the United States. With a history of supporting pioneering initiatives—such as the first grant to Connecticut Hospice—this program now emphasizes strategic, invitation-only grants that improve access to and the quality of palliative care. Recent funding has supported organizations addressing disparities, particularly for Black families, children with serious illnesses, and patients lacking access to specialty palliative care teams. The program aims to catalyze innovative solutions, build capacity, and disseminate best practices in palliative care, especially for underserved populations.
