The Paliatr Vysočina Region initiative, supported by the Vysočina Region in the Czech Republic, has been recognized in the Caregiver Support category for its comprehensive approach to improving access to palliative care. The project focuses on strengthening care coordination, professional education, and support for both caregivers and patients across the region.
Paliatr Vysočina : Improving Access to Palliative Care
Paliatr Vysočina ensures that palliative care services are available not only in hospitals but also in homes and senior facilities, creating a seamless network of support for people with serious or terminal illnesses. This system-wide organization helps guarantee that patients and their families receive compassionate, continuous care, wherever they are.
Focus on Education and Professional Growth
A key part of the initiative is its emphasis on professional training and education. By equipping healthcare providers with specialized knowledge in palliative care, the program raises the overall quality of services and strengthens collaboration among medical and social care professionals.
Accessible Information for Families and Experts
The project has also developed a public-friendly website to make palliative care information more accessible to families, patients, and professionals alike. This platform includes educational materials, details about available services, and plans for creating clear provider lists — helping people find the right support more easily.
Commitment to Quality and the Future
Paliatr Vysočina collects patient data and monitors service quality to ensure continuous improvement. Looking ahead, the initiative aims to introduce formal care certification and transparent provider listings to further standardize and elevate palliative care across the Vysočina Region.
By combining education, accessibility, and organization, Paliatr Vysočina has created a strong framework for sustainable palliative and caregiver support. Its recognition in the Caregiver Support category celebrates a regional model that places dignity, quality, and collaboration at the heart of care.
