Relating to: establishment of a Palliative Care Council. (FE)

SB 39 proposes the establishment of a Palliative Care Council. This council would likely address matters related to palliative care services, which aim to provide comfort and support for patients with serious illnesses. An amendment to the bill details the required composition of the council's physician members. Specifically, it mandates that five physicians serve on the council, including two palliative care physicians (one specializing in pediatric palliative care) and two primary care physicians.
