Patient-Centered Education & Research
After more than 20 years Patient-centered Education and Research and its primary project PC-HEART have ceased operations.
Thank you to all who provided support and interest over the past two decades.
Patient-Centered Education and Research assets will create a Palliative Care restricted grant at the Heart Failure Research Foundation (Foundation), a program of the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA). HFSA launched the Foundation to address the significant need for more dollars dedicated to heart failure research. Their mission is to improve the lives of patients by reducing the burden of heart failure.
The Palliative Care Grant will earmark our assets for research that improves the quality of life for persons with advanced heart failure and their families. The special grant will be managed by HFSA’s Research Committee. To learn more, or if you have questions, please contact Natalie Zundel at nzundel@hfsa.org.
Patient-centered Education and Research was founded in 2003 to support the work of a group of doctors, nurses, educators and researchers who formed the Palliative Care- Heart Failure Education and Research Trials (PC-HEART) collaborative. PC-HEART is our major project. We are working to identify ways to manage symptoms and improve communication and decision making for heart failure patients and their families.
We began our work with a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to support PC-HEART, and with donations of time, energy and money from many people, corporations and foundations. We continue to be a volunteer organization, with the vast majority of money supporting the work we do.
