| Abstract | This special issue of the Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life & Palliative Care grows out of the November 2009 Conference of the Collaborative for Palliative Care of Westchester County and the New York State Southern Region (‘‘the Collaborative’’), ‘‘A Team of Partners in Palliative Care: Challenges and Choices in Ethics of Care at End of Life.’’ Contributions to the special issue have been made by conference speakers and Collaborative members who have participated in the Collaborative program planning or in the research process. We regret that not all of our speakers are represented in this issue, but we recognize their contributions to the Collaborative and to the November 2009 Conference. Therefore, we provide for your reference a full list of program speakers at the November Conference available for download from the publisher’s online edition of the journal. The development of the Collaborative and the critical role it has played in building community assets to improve palliative and end-of-life care in one region of New York State are described in the opening article of the issue. Dobrof and colleagues discuss the importance of grassroots leadership in the founding of the Collaborative and the defining of its mission. The strong transdisciplinary character of the project is highlighted, as well as the focus on bridging policy, practice and research. The authors also provide information about the diverse types of work in which the Collaborative is engaged, and report on results from an evaluation of the Collaborative’s development process. The members of the Collaborative have made a clear commitment to professional education and training to improve the quality of palliative and end-of-life care for persons who are seriously and terminally ill. The contributions to this special journal issue are in major areas in which the Collaborative is targeting professional education and training.
