The Department of Medicine is pleased to announce that the Section of Palliative Medicine, Division of Hematology and Oncology at Stony Brook University Hospital received two awards in the Clinical Training category of the Center to Advance Palliative Care’s (CAPC) The John A. Hartford Foundation Tipping Point Challenge.
This national competition was established to help health care organizations catalyze the spread of skills and improve health care delivery for all people living with a serious illness. Over the past year, both palliative care and non-palliative clinicians across the Stony Brook Medicine organization enhanced their skills in order to most effectively serve our highest need, most complex patients and their families. This included skill-building in communication, pain and symptom management and support for the family caregiver.
Here are the following placements that Stony Brook University Hospital received:
- Winner, completing the most courses amongst Large Hospitals since becoming a member organization
- Honor Roll, completing a significant number of courses amongst Large Hospitals within the timeframe of the competition
