Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act
Current understanding
An introduced Senate bill that would direct HHS to fund palliative-care and hospice workforce education — including training programs, interdisciplinary fellowships, and academic career awards — and would require NIH to expand palliative-care research. As of introduction it has no chamber passage or binding effect; it functions as a policy signal on how Congress might channel HRSA workforce and NIH research dollars toward palliative care.
