The Duke Center for Palliative Care

The Duke Center for Palliative Care connects Duke University and Duke Health, bringing together clinicians, researchers, learners, patients, and families in the mission of integrating palliative care into the fabric of health systems and communities.  We call this “population-based palliative care.” JAMA article 

Our center draws on diverse viewpoints, methods, and strategies, and uses techniques of design thinking to develop innovative ways to improve care for people facing serious illness and their families.
