Hospital and community leaders described the operations, early outcomes and fundraising for a newly established palliative care unit at Mercy Medical Center in Springfield City. Speakers said the unit currently has eight beds, has served about 100 patients with measurable reductions in readmissions and costs, and that $1.5 million has been raised so far (including $250,000 in ARPA funds). Leaders said they plan to expand capacity pending additional fundraising and stronger relationships with extended-care partners.
