Center for Palliative Care Research and Education

Led by faculty from the College of Nursing on behalf of the health sciences colleges and welcoming participation from colleges campus-wide, the Center for Palliative Care Research and Education  focuses on research and education to improve palliative care for persons and animals throughout Florida, across the nation, and all around the world.
