The Center for Practical Bioethics has established the Kathleen M. Foley Chair for Pain and Palliative Care, funded by a $3 million endowment.
The Kansas City-based center said in a Tuesday release that the new chair will continue to increase standards for pain education research and policy. Foley is a revered neuro-oncologist and international leader in pain and palliative care, the center said in the release. She is attending neuro-oncologist in the Pain & Palliative Care Service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
Dr. Foley served as a panelist for HFA's 2006 initiative, Pain Management at the End of Life: Bridging the Gap Between Knowledge and Practice. She also wrote the foreword for the companion book.
