We are proud to announce that our organization is a Bronze Winner in the Tipping Point Challenge, a national competition focused on the submission of innovative initiatives that have made—or will make—positive, breakthrough change in the care of serious illness.
The Tipping Point Challenge is sponsored by the Center to Advance Palliative Care and The John A. Hartford Foundation. It was open to all health care organizations, settings, disciplines, and specialties across the US, and over 100 initiatives were submitted. Each was evaluated by an expert panel based on five criteria: impact, evidence-base, feasibility, scalability, and sustainability.
Read about the Challenge and our organization’s initiative here.
