Here with Growth

Helping People Live Well through Collaborative Research

The research team was established to advance the scope of palliative care awareness, education and research. We not only seek to educate current and future professionals about palliative care, but also the community at large. The research team is here to improve quality of life and experience for hospice patients and their families. Hospice and palliative care research projects range from person-centered studies to programmatic studies that translate into better hospice care and tangible quality-of-life improvements.

We collaborate with clinicians and the academic community, as well as partner with community providers. Our research interests include end-of-life dreams and visions, delirium, and other psychosocial interventions that seek to improve the quality of life of the hospice and palliative care population. Many of these studies have been published in peer-reviewed journals, and a few studies have garnered national attention, appearing in The New York Times, The Huffington Post, Scientific American Mind, and Psychology Today.
