Foundation For The Carolinas Awards $36,000 Grant to Hospice of Davidson County
LEXINGTON – The Foundation For The Carolinas, through its Foundation For a Healthy Carolina fund, recently awarded Hospice of Davidson County a $36,000 grant to support the funding of TapCloud, the agency’s telehealth program.
In use since 2019 at the nonprofit, TapCloud provides additional access to the Hospice of Davidson County care team between visits and connects families located across the county, state, and country to members of the patient’s care team.
“We are thrilled to receive this funding support for TapCloud, our telehealth program, made possible by the Foundation for a Healthy Carolina,” said Jennifer Everhart, chief clinical officer for Hospice of Davidson County. “As hospice care providers, we are called upon to ensure accessible and supportive care for our patients and their families—our continued use and expansion of TapCloud and its many virtual support services allow us to do just that.”
The TapCloud app, which can be downloaded on a smart device, allows direct communication with the patient’s clinical care providers. In addition, permitted family members and loved ones can access up-to-date communication daily. The app also allows the care team to speak directly with the patient and/or family and provides daily care plans, instructions, and medication reminders.
