This toolkit is made possible through the immeasurable contributions of a collective group of expert practitioners and organizations dedicated to improving end-of-life care:
This toolkit was underwritten by a Soros Faculty Scholarship Award from the Project on Death in America of the Open Society Institute. The Project on Death in America's Faculty Scholars Program was established to identify outstanding faculty and clinicians who are making a commitment to work in end-of-life care, and to support them in disseminating existing models of good care, developing new models for improving the care of the dying, and developing new approaches to the education of healthcare professionals about the care of dying patients and their families. The mission of the Project on Death in America is to understand and transform the culture and experience of dying and bereavement through initiatives in research, scholarship, the humanities, and the arts, and to foster innovations in the provision of care, public education, professional education, and public policy.
