Welcome to PallCI
The Palliative Care Initiative (PallCI) is funded through a Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) grant to train, support, recruit, and retain primary care and allied health care professionals to provide palliative care at four member sites in northeast and central Minnesota:
- Mercy Hospital and Health Care Center, Moose Lake, MN
- FirstLight Health System, Mora, MN
- Lakewood Health System, Staples, MN.
The project goal is to create and pilot exemplary interprofessional learning environments for students in the four rural health systems member sites, each of which is at a different point in developing palliative care services.
