Funding for a medical respite program can be one of the most critical and challenging aspects of a programs’ operation. Many medical respite programs must use multiple sources of funding to cover all aspects of the program and to ensure access to all who are referred to the program.
The Funding a Medical Respite Program Symposium will provide a comprehensive learning opportunity for developing and existing programs to learn more about potential funding mechanisms and strategies for creating a sustainable program. This Symposium will include didactic learning, lessons learned from existing programs, and opportunities for discussion of content in breakout spaces to assist attendees in applying information learned to their own communities.
