DESCRIPTION
Information leaflet on the Irish Hospice Foundation's Design & Dignity projectTRANSCRIPT
Design & Dignity is an initiative of our Hospice Friendly Hospitals Programme which is working to
enhance end-of-life care in Irish hospitals, where almost half of all deaths occur.
The aim of Design & Dignity is fund exemplar projects in public hospitals, transform the way hospital
spaces are designed for people at the end of life and set the standard for other hospitals to follow.
We need to raise an initial $1 million with a long-term target of an additional $3.5 million.
Our vision is to roll out the Design & Dignity project across Ireland and to embed our Hospice Friendly Hospitals Programme within the health system. To achieve this vision an additional $3.5 million is needed.
We need your help. Here is how:
