$400,000 - Hospice care for children and adults, staff education, and a hospice care coordinator/liaison position

his grant provides ongoing support for VNA’s pediatric end-of-life care program and adult hospice services in Monterey and San Benito counties in California's Central Coast region.  Part of the grant also continues to fund VNA's hospice care program serving southern Monterey County communities. Until 2002, hospice services were limited or largely unavailable to residents in the South County area. That year, the Hospice Foundation provided seed funding to help CCVNA open an office in King City, and this grant continues to help support that operation.   Specifically, $300,000 funds direct hospice services; $15,000 funds staff end-of-life care education; and $85,000 funds a hospice care coordinator/liaison position.
