BACKGROUND: This year (2025), Hawaiʻi became the first state in the nation to offer community palliative care for Medicaid (Med-QUEST) beneficiaries. Palliative care is now available as soon as a patient is diagnosed with a serious illness as a covered preventative benefit. It is available for patients who may be receiving curative treatments but need the extra support that a palliative care team can provide. Through a grant from Hui Pohala, Kōkua Mau produced a series of four webinars to help healthcare professionals and members of managed care plans optimize this valuable, new benefit.
