Overview

To ensure that San Franciscans have access to palliative care now and in the future, and that the delivery of this care is a collaborative effort between all stakeholders, the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) and San Francisco Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) are co-sponsoring the San Francisco Palliative Care Task Force.

The San Francisco Palliative Care Task Force will bring together a diverse group of representatives from leading health care and community organizations, advocacy and professional associations, as well as consumers and caregivers, to summarize and evaluate the current state of palliative care in San Francisco and make recommendations for the future.
