Acknowledgments

The Adtalem Global Education Foundation recently awarded AAHPM a $20,000 grant to support help support and expand the Next Gen Scholars for Equity in Hospice and Palliative Medicine. This program sponsors post-graduate medical residents interested in hospice and palliative medicine (HPM) from communities that are underrepresented in the profession’s workforce.

The Fan Fox & Leslie R. Samuels Foundation previously awarded AAHPM a $445,000 grant to support New York City-based HPM fellowship programs focused on training physicians interested in caring for aging patients in this geographic region.

The Hearst Foundations previously awarded AAHPM a $1.2 million grant to partially fund fellowship training programs. This grant has benefited physicians interested in caring for the older population and becoming mentors, educators, and role models. 

The Kindred Gentiva Hospice Foundation previously awarded AAHPM a $300,000 grant to support HPM fellowship programs that offer a longitudinal experience with a strong hospice and home health component teaching physicians the necessary skills to perform in the role of a hospice physician.

AAHPM thanks the Gentiva, Ho/Chiang, Samuels, and Hearst Foundations for their generous support of the field.
