Transforming Health Care
“Our efforts to transform health care began with philanthropic investments in palliative care to help people with serious illness and their caregivers live as well as possible for as long as possible through personalized care that reduces suffering and improves the quality of life for both the patient and their family members.
Under Healthy People, Healthy Communities, our grantees attend to care for the whole person—not only their health care needs, but also the social influences that impact their overall health and well-being. Cambia Health Foundation invests in innovative strategies that help to eliminate disparities and make the health care journey more inclusive, person-focused, and economically sustainable from birth through natural completion of life.”
