About

This pathway was created to meet the needs identified in the lives of older and chronically ill community members. The 2 initiatives that fall under this pathway are Beyond Clinic Walls and Hospice.

Beyond Clinic Walls focuses on providing social support and maintaining independence for older adults through home visits, advocacy, and healthcare monitoring.

Hospice focuses on understanding and assisting with palliative care by connecting community members with community resources, advocating for patients, and improving quality of care.
