Seniors are 60 yrs + and have at least one chronic medical condition. Income or assets are not considered. The program was developed by and is run by Phil DiSorbo, MS, BCPA. He and co-author Dr. Bill Vacca, MD, FACC, wrote an article for CAPC titled Increasing Palliative Care Accessibility through Grassroots Community Collaborations and Teamwork. It's definitely worth a read.
