FPS Respite Program
FAMILIES IN THE FPS RESPITE PROGRAM ARE SUPPORTED IN SEVERAL WAYS. BASED UPON THE HEALTH OF THE PATIENT, THEY EITHER RECEIVE A TRAVEL RESPITE OR A STAYCATION RESPITE. BOTH ARE TAILORED TO THE FAMILY AND THE RELEVANT NEEDS AS DETERMINED BY THE NOMINATOR AND THE FPS PROGRAM COORDINATOR VIA CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PATIENT AND CAREGIVER. FOLLOWING THE TRAVEL RESPITE OR STAYCATION RESPITE, FPS CONTINUES TO PROVIDE ANCILLARY SUPPORT TO THE PATIENT, CAREGIVER, AND FAMILY. TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PROGRAM, A PATIENT MUST BE NOMINATED BY A MEMBER OF HIS/HER ONCOLOGY TEAM. FPS NOMINATORS USE CLINICAL ASSESSMENT FACTORS TO BEST IDENTIFY PATIENTS IN NEED OF RESPITE. NEW NOMINATORS PARTICIPATE IN A SHORT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM ABOUT THE MISSION OF FPS. SOME NOMINATORS SERVE AS MEMBERS OF THE FPS PATIENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE, CHARGED WITH OVERSEEING THE ENTIRE PATIENT PROGRAM, PROGRAM GUIDELINES, AND CLINICAL ASSESSMENT FACTORS. OUR TOP NOMINATING MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS IN FY22 INCLUDE JEFFERSON HEALTH, ALLEGHENY HEALTH NETWORK, LEHIGH VALLEY, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA ABRAMSON CANCER CENTER, MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER, TEMPLE HEALTH AND MONTEFIORE HEALTH ALONG WITH 25 ADDITIONAL MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2021 – Jun 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.3MPANO Certification
