The Collaborative for Palliative Care ("Collaborative") is a
grassroots consortium of public and private organizations that came
together in 2005 for the purposes of studying the increasing need
for palliative care and the methods for such care. It has grown
from a small fledgling group to a membership of over 50
community-based organizations and volunteers dedicated to improving
care of the seriously ill through education, research and advocacy.
The Collaborative bridges policy, research and practice in its
initiatives and vision for the future. Partners in Palliative Care
examines specific areas of concern that the Collaborative has
addressed in its education programs and advocacy, as well as the
collaborative processes that have been so successful in building
community assets. Areas of concentration have been diverse and
include advance care planning, relational communication paradigms,
community capacity building, the role of culture and spirituality
in palliative care, the meaning of pain and suffering for seriously
ill individuals, and the ethics of health care costs in palliative
and end-of-life systems of care. This book was originally published
as a special issue of the Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life and
Palliative Care.
