Baptist Health South Florida has received a grant from Health Foundation of South Florida in the amount of $280,950 towards developing a training program in “Improving End-of-Life Care for Intercultural Diverse Populations.” The goal of the program is to enhance the knowledge, skills and comfort level of Baptist Health healthcare providers in providing end-of-life care for the diverse populations in South Florida.
The two-year project will involve participation of physicians, nurses, nursing care techs, respiratory therapists, social workers and chaplains in focus groups for the first year, and participation in training the second year. Based on the information received from the focus groups, which will include healthcare providers and family members who have lost loved ones, a training curriculum will be developed.
