1.) Medical Respite Care Funding Series: Getting Started
Medical respite programs save lives, but saving lives requires sustainable funding. Because medical respite care exists at the intersection of health care and housing, there is no single funding stream that covers all services, staffing, and facility needs. In this course series, you’ll explore why funding for medical respite is complex, why most programs rely on multiple sources, and how to begin building a strong, sustainable financial foundation for your program.
