  • Title: Building on community assets to improve palliative and end-of-life care.
    Author: Dobrof J, Heyman JC, Greenberg RM.
    Journal: J Soc Work End Life Palliat Care; 2011; 7(1):5-13. PubMed ID: 21391075.
    Abstract:
    In this article, the authors describe the development of a multidisciplinary, interfaith, grassroots community group of professionals and laypersons who have created a replicable model to enhance palliative and end-of-life care. The Collaborative for Palliative Care leverages existing community assets and capacities within the health and social service programs of Westchester County, New York, resulting in a unique public-private partnership. It has played a critical role in changing the culture of care for residents of Westchester who are faced with the challenges of serious and terminal illness.
